Raas Garba and Sangeet Night Symbols Explained

Raas Garba and Sangeet are two of the most joyful pre-wedding celebrations in Indian culture. Both events carry their own distinct symbols and motifs, many of which can be incorporated into your wedding stationery to set the tone for each celebration night.

Raas Garba Symbols

Raas Garba originates from Gujarat and is traditionally performed in honour of Goddess Durga. As a pre-wedding celebration it brings extended family together for an evening of circular dance, colour, and music. Key Raas Garba symbols include:

• The Garba lamp (Garbha Deep) — a lit clay lamp placed at the centre of the dance circle, representing the divine light of the Goddess
• Dandiya sticks — crossed wooden sticks used in Dandiya Raas, symbolising the sword dance of Goddess Durga
• The circle — the circular formation of dancers represents the cycle of life and the cosmic rhythm
• Peacock motifs — associated with celebration, joy, and the vibrancy of Indian festival culture
• Floral patterns — marigold and lotus motifs frequently appear on Garba invitations, representing prosperity and devotion

Sangeet Night Symbols

The Sangeet (meaning music) is a pre-wedding celebration centred on singing, music, and dance. Family and friends from both sides perform choreographed dances and songs. Common Sangeet symbols include:

• Musical instruments — the dhol, sitar, harmonium, and tabla all appear as motifs on Sangeet invitation cards
• Musical notes — treble clefs and musical notes in digital metallic foil create a festive, modern look
• Mehndi patterns — intricate henna designs often feature on Sangeet cards when the event coincides with Mehndi night
• Ganesha — as with all Hindu celebrations, Ganesha as the remover of obstacles is frequently placed at the top of Sangeet invitations
