Jaggo
The Jaggo ritual is carried out using decorative vessels, normally made from copper or brass, as well as diyas (clay lamp). They are both filled with mustard oil and lit. This ceremony is normally performed at the wedding home during the night.
Another occasion for the family to sing and dance. The wedding home can also be decorated with lights outside the house as well as inside and decorated with garlands of flowers. You can decorate the house anyway you want, you could use balloons and fresh flowers, there is no right or wrong way, it is very much an individual preference.
The jaggo was performed by my mothers sisters, (performed by both the bride and grooms maternal aunt). One aunt will carry the vessel on their head and a different aunt will be constantly shaking a long stick which has bells on it.
It’s a ritual performed by women, they keep visiting as many friends and families homes, they feasibly can and continue to dance and keep moving on to the next house. At each house, you will receive a warm and friendly welcome with sweets and drinks being served. This is a fun and joyous occasion with dancing and food.
