Frequently asked
- What is samaan in a Punjabi wedding?
- Samaan (ਸਮਾਨ) is the collective word for the ritual items each ceremony needs: the vatna ingredients and phulkari for the Maiyan, the decorated gaggar and kangni de glass for the Jaggo, the choora and kaleere for the Choora ceremony, and so on. Most of it can't be bought last-minute, which is why families keep a checklist.
- Is this samaan checklist free?
- The lists for Haldi/Maiyan, Jaggo and Choora are completely free. No signup, and ticks are saved in your browser. The full checklist across every ceremony, synced to your account and shared with your family, is part of the planning kit.
- Who usually buys the samaan?
- It's split across the household: the mother and aunts usually own the maiyan and choora samaan, while decorative items and giveaways get delegated. The kit's checklist (and its master to-do list) lets you assign owners so nothing is discovered missing on the morning.
