Jaggo is a lively Punjabi pre-wedding celebration full of dancing, music, and joy. It’s all about celebrating the upcoming wedding with color, energy, and fun, usually late in the evening. Guests often wear bright, festive outfits and sometimes traditional Indian attire. The celebration includes drums, singing, and lots of dancing—basically a cultural dance party! Traditionally, people carry decorated “jaggos” (lamps on a decorated platform) on their heads, symbolizing happiness and good fortune. Think of it as a joyful, high-energy party to kick off the wedding festivities! 🎉
