"DHOLKI"

                    (A joyful cultural event of Pakistani wedding)

It is really feeling excited to tell u about a traditional event "dholki".Initially i like to share the concept of wedding.Wedding is the process which religiously and legally joining a man and a women in a relationship not only the man and a women but also an alliance between their respective families.Every individual arrange there wedding according to there religious and culture way,In Pakistan there are some of most common events that held normally like mayoo,mehndi(henna),rukhsati and valima,As the only islamic requirement is the nikkah and valima other events are cultural additions.Today,i like to share something about that particular event that starts some days before of "mayoo " that is called "DHOLKI"

traditionally,dholki situated many days or even weeks before the actual wedding day ,where Relatives especially women's will gather in the house of the bride and the groom at night to sing and dance while accompanied by percussion instruments.

In these days the boys and  girls practicing there dance steps and making them perfect which they perform in mayoo or mehndi  its really joyful days during the wedding,but today,this ceremony has also been reduced to a single night of singing and is often combined with mayoo and  mehndi.well these kind of events makes the wedding memorable for everyone.after some time every one recalls there memories which they got from that wedding days,which makes smile on there faces and also they were feeling there self happy,we can also say that this will makes people closer to each other or releases there tensions of life's as well for a while,now in this world everyone busy in there life's,they don't even have a time to meet there closer relatives.I think this type of events makes people closer to each other and makes the relations more strong which is very important.I like to mention two quotes on this.....

• "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success"....HENRY FORD 

• "There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage".MARTHIN LUTHER
