did somebody know what’s the gaana(in punj) and how did it looks pic plz
um, isn’t that a decorative piece wots wore around the time of the wedding?
I might be completely wrong but I think its tied around the bride or grooms wrist around the mehendi time.
Have seen them in Pakistan…Not sure of the reason behind it tho!
Re: gaana
i love gana...but i dont knwo where i can get this gana from karachi
I just recently found out wut its for dont know if its the correct info or not but anyway i see ppl wearing it on their mehndi and baarat but those who wear it on their baarat i think the grooms mother puts it on both the bride and the grrom and the couple cant open it until they go home and they have to open it up for each other which i found kindaa weird but i guess its a covo starter especially for the arranged marriages.
i found this out a few months ago when i went to pakistan for my wedding shopping and my mom just happend to ask one of out punjabi neighbors and she did not hesitate discussing its importance in front of everyone i was embarrassed bc of the way she was explaining it 
Re: gaana
i will wear it for just fun...i dont belive in these rituals
The grooms mother doesn't put the gaana on but the Mamoo of the bride for her and Mamoo of the groom for the him.
(Mamoo mums brother.)
u r supposed to tie it lots of tight knots so that when the walima is over the next day the bride and groom undo each others gaana's and it takes them time and they struggle because of all the tight knots.
Re: gaana
i thought it was another name for them >>>
Re: gaana
i want to make one in fresh flower for my friend did someone help me if you have pic plzzzzzzz share thanks
Gana ceremony takes place the morning of the wedding day. It is a part of a sikh wedding tradition.
The Gana ceremony is performed separately for both the groom and the bride. A priest does pooja and ties a red thread to the bride’s right wrist in her house. The same custom is repeated with the groom in his house but it is tied to his left wrist. The bride’s thread has auspicious items like supari/sugar, an iron ring/key chain, a cowrie shell, pearls and beads of mustard tied to it in a small cloth. This is called the gana. This is for protection and to ward off an evil eye. After this the bride or the groom do not step out of their respective houses till the wedding ceremony is over.
This platter (Thali) is set up for a traditional Indian ritual called “Mahiya/Haldi Ceremony” The Thali is set up with a diva(Lamp), Haldi(Turmeric), and the gold colored tread next to the Haldi bowl is a Gana(sacred thread). The gana is tied on the groom and the brides the right wrist at their own homes. The Gana has ‘kaudis’ (shells) tied on it. “Mahiya/Haldi Ceremony” aka Turmeric paste, it’s used as a gesture of cleansing and blessing for the first 2 days before the actual wedding.
These are kaleeras. The bride’s uncle and aunty then place the gold ‘kaleeras’ in the bride’s hands after the gana ceremony. When the bride leaves the room, she playfully touches any young girl with the kaleeras. That girl will be the next lucky young bride.
