Welcome to the webpage of Saanjh Punjab!
This website is dedicated to the concept of
a common, shared ('Saanjh') Punjabi culture.
Despite the processes of history and politics which have undermined the
unity across the region, including the partition of Punjab in 1947 as
well as other movements to privilege religious over other identities of
belonging, Saanjh Punjab intends to highlight various aspects of shared
practices across East and West Punjab which span India and Pakistan.
Dresses refelects the shared rich culture which both East and West Punjab have. Culture of East and West Punjab is never complete without its dresses and food. A bridal wear or wedding dress is the clothing worn by a bride during wedding ceremony. Traditionally Punjabi brides use to wear red colour dress during the wedding ceremony but mostly colour depends on the religion and culture of the wedding participants. Traditional Anarkali, Pishwas, Frocks are referred to be formal dresses of the old times of mughals.
