As our wedding will be a traditional Sikh Punjabi wedding, our attire will consist of traditional Indian clothes. You are welcome to wear Indian clothing or western clothing depending on your preference. We just ask that if you are attending the Anand Karaj (the wedding ceremony in the temple), please be mindful to wear more modest clothing and keep in mind, your head will need to be covered and shoes will need to be removed.

Below are some examples of traditional Indian fashion that can be worn during the events, and some websites that you can order from.
