This is a dance ceremony performed during the late hours before the wedding day. The bride’s female relations carry a decorated copper vessel called gaffer with lights or “dhiyas”made of wheat flour. The aunt carries this vessel on her head and the other women follow her in group, singing and dancing their traditional giddha. A woman carries a long stick with bells or “ghungroos.”They visit nearby relatives in the village where they are welcomed with foods, grains and ghee for lighting up the lamp.Jaggo dance is a procession to wake up and call the neighbours for wedding.
