The term Sangeet is Sanskrit, which when translated into English means "as sung together". The Sangeet ceremony takes place two or three days before the wedding. In the old days, the Sangeet was reserved for women only, but these days many couples are deciding to have a Sangeet that includes both women and men. This ceremony is a time for celebrating, singing, dancing and joking and is a perfect time for wedding guests to meet and get to know each other. The Sangeet can also include some good-natured teasing of the couple's soon-to-be in-laws.

Both the bridal and groom's party will learn songs and dances to perform at the Sangeet.

Traditional Indian instruments, like a dholki (a two-sided drum), are often used in the ceremony as well. After the singing and dancing is finished, all guests dine together.
