Songs are an integral and much enjoyable part of Indian weddings. There are a whole lot of songs for all important and possible marriage ceremonies. Interestingly, most of the popular wedding songs are extremely old and folk in nature and these have not just managed to retain their distinct charm but are highly popular amongst the new generation.

Some of the most popular song ceremonies in Indian weddings include sagai or engagement, ladies sangeet or bridal shower, mehndi and vidai. Inclusion of songs in these ceremonies make them extremely enjoyable. Enthusiastic participation of close relatives and family members of the bride or groom further adds to the joy.

Different regional and linguistic communities in India have devised their own interesting wedding songs for various ceremonies. Some of these folk songs, especially Punjabi and Gujarati wedding folk songs are extremely popular and are sung or played in most Indian weddings. Several Hindi movie wedding songs are also extremely popular and many of these have become traditional and must played Indian wedding songs.
