Jago, in Punjabi, means wake up. The Punjabi jago ceremony is held a day or two before the wedding along with the sangeet ceremony and involves ‘waking up the neighbourhood’ with song and dance. It starts with the eldest female member of the family heading the Punjabi jaggo ceremony with the main Punjabi jago item on her head - The jaggo brass matka, all lit up with lights. Others join in, singing along and beating on Punjabi jago items including the chajj and danda, a long stick with ghungroos and pakhis (hand fans). The sangeet ceremony with traditional gidha, wedding boliyan and dance follows this.
