In Case You're Wondering

Jaago means wake up. On the night before the wedding, the women of the family carry a decorated clay or brass pot, the jaago matka, lit from within, and go from house to house singing boliyan, waking the neighbourhood and announcing that a wedding is coming. There is no pandit, no muhurat and no fixed sequence to follow. There is only your family, the light, and the noise. No ceremony in the season sounds like it.

The mami, the bride's maternal aunt, traditionally carries the jaago on her head, and the pot is then passed between the aunts, the mother, the sisters and the cousins through the night. In many families the bride's mother leads the procession herself. The chajj, the pakhi and the danda with ghungroos are carried alongside, and the boliyan are led by whoever knows them best, which is almost always the naani and the daadi.

Usually 1 to 2 nights before the wedding, and very often on the same evening as the Mehendi. The henna dries, the music carries on, and the jaago is lit. Some families hold it at the bride's home, some at the groom's, and many hold it at both. It runs late into the night, which is rather the point of it.

The jaago matka, decorated and ready to light, and the pieces carried alongside it: the chajj with its stick, the pakhi, and the danda with ghungroos. Our Jaago sets come in brass and in Zehra, Surkh, Satrangi, brocade, navy and bottle green palettes.

It travels better than any other ceremony of the season, because it asks for nothing but your family and your willingness to be loud in a quiet neighbourhood. Our Jaago sets ship to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, the UAE and 20+ more countries, LED-lit so they can be carried safely indoors or outside. Order 3 to 4 weeks ahead of the date where you can, and message us on WhatsApp if yours is sooner.
