Marriage songs play an important part in all Indian weddings despite of the cultural diversity. Indian weddings are elaborate affairs that span across a couple of days, where each day is dedicated to a special ceremony. And

while each ceremony is celebrated, some marriage songs are always played and danced to by friends and family alike.

To give you an idea of what marriage songs you can play for your wedding functions, I have made six playlists for all the wedding ceremonies that you can download, play and enjoy!

Haldi Songs

The haldi ceremony in an Indian wedding has a lot of significance. While haldi is applied to both the bride and the groom for a number of auspicious reasons, this ceremony is also a chance for all the young and old of the family to come together and have a gala time. And while we are talking about fun times, how can marriage songs played for haldi be left behind?  So, here’s a list of haldi songs for you to download and enjoy during the ceremony:

1. Navrai Majhi – English Vinglish

This old marathi haldi song got a fresh Bollywood makeover when Sridevi shook a leg in English Vinglish on this number! Perfect to be played for the bride’s haldi, Navrai Majhi is one song that will get everyone grooving.

2. Banno Teri Akheya Surmedaani – Dushmani

While this one is quite an old Bollywood Haldi song, it is still very popularly played as a marriage song by the bride’s side during the ceremony.

3. Chalka Chakla Re – Saathiya

If you are a 90s kid who is getting married now, you will know what a rage this song was when Saathiya released. Well, it’s definitely a great haldi song that you can play and dance to while the bride is getting smeared in haldi.

4. Kabira Encore – Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani

A movie that defined love, friendship and fun for millenials made its mark with the Kabira song, which is played during a haldi ceremony. This haldi song is surely one of those that you can play for your BFF’s ceremony.

So, for all those who just need a reason to dance and have fun, sangeet is your day! Here’s a list of sangeet songs that are all-time popular!
