MarriageoftheChief

Bhagwant Mann, the chief minister of Punjab, wed Dr. Gurpreet Kaur on Thursday at the CM residence in Chandigarh in front of a small group of invited guests, including AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and party's Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha. Despite the lack of large crowds or the typical pomp and circumstance of a typical big fat Punjabi wedding, the exuberance was still palpable.

For the Anand Karaj ceremony, which was kept private, Mann (48) wore a traditional yellow turban with "kalgi" and a gold kurta-pyjama, while Kaur (30) opted for a traditional red-colored outfit.

The future bride uploaded a photo from her unverified Twitter account prior to the event with the message, "Din Shagna Da Chadya... (the auspicious day has arrived)." The hashtags #GurpreetKaur and #BhagwantMannWedding were trending on Twitter by evening after she thanked the many AAP leaders who had posted congratulations.

With his mother, Chadha was among the first people to arrive at the CM's home in the morning. "My brother is getting married, I am extremely delighted," he said to the waiting reporters. "Saade veer da vyah Saanu gode gode chah." In a video taken during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mann is seen having some fun with friends. Later, Chadha posted a picture of the groom in his wedding attire making his way to the ceremony while being held under a "Phulkari" by Chadha and a few other young visitors. Kejriwal and Mann's sister, Manpreet Kaur, who was dressed in a magenta suit, was also visible in the image.

The wedding platter included moong dal halwa, dried fruit rabri, and mah di jalebi as part of the desserts, along with apricotstuffed kofta, kalonji wale aloo, dal makhani, chana masala, karahi paneer, and navratan biryani.

Gurpreet Kaur, the bride, received her MBBS degree from a private university in Haryana four years ago. She is a native of Pehowa in the Haryana district of Kurukshetra.

Bhagwant Mann's first marriage ended in a consensual divorce in 2015, and he is now married for a second time. She resides in the US with Dilshan (17) and Seerat, Mann's two children (21).

The marriage was solemnized in accordance with Sikh customs. Sant Manmohan Singh Baran and jathedar Baba Balbir Singh of the Budha Dal blessed the newlyweds, according to Chadha.

Party leaders, like as cabinet members

Harpal Singh Cheema and Aman Arora, welcomed Kejriwal and his family as they came to attend the wedding. Bhagwant Mann, the chief minister of Punjab and my younger brother, is starting a new adventure today. I wish him a happy married life, Kejriwal told reporters.

"The wedding was a straightforward and private event. Few visitors from both sides attended, mainly friends and family. One of the guests remarked that Kejriwal "played the part of the father of the groom."

The puppet drama is a very old dramatic form that is still widely used today throughout the civilized world, from the east to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Playing dolls is used in this presentation. Male and female dolls embody diverse life events, and life is dramatized on stage in many different ways. The puppets are made of paper pulp, Paris plaster, or wood. The puppet body's components are twisted such that when the cable is pulled, each one may rotate independently.

In India, making puppets is a very old custom. Popular items include threads, gloves, and shadow puppets, while traveling puppet dancers provide entertainment for onlookers. Folklore and historical relationships are also well-known for this. The ornamental arts, architecture, clothing, and traditional puppets are all on display.

The most unique aspect of puppetry is how many different arts are combined. A variety of arts are utilized, including writing, theater, woodworking, painting, sculpting, and textile production. Because of this, the audience gets emotionally attached to these puppets even after they are dead and still on the stage with their full set of decorations.

Puppetry has a lengthy history. 'Natasutra' discusses 'effigy theater' in the Ashtadhyayi of Panini from the fourth century BCE. Some people cite the mythical story of the creation of a puppet, in which Shiva is said to have begun this art form by entering a wooden statue and seizing Parvati's attention. During the Satyavardhana era, it spread from India to nations in East Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, etc. Marketplace puppets

The mythological literature, folklore, and legends of India's traditional school plays are significant. Puppet plays have previously portrayed the tales of Amar Singh Rathore, Prithviraj, Heer-Ranjha, Laila-Majnu, and Sheerin-Farhad.

Already, puppets are employed in communicating. This form of art has been in our nation for over 2000 years. The only way to show early plays was using puppets. We have a lot of radio with contemporary technology, TV, theater with contemporary technical capabilities, and everything on stage now. However, ancient folk customs or puppets both had a dramatic flair.

A significant Punjabi holiday is Lohri, a harvest festival celebrated in the winter, when the sacred fire of Lohri is kindled to reach the heavens during the coldest night of the year. After Lohri, they invoke the Sun deity to bring warmth, which causes the days to grow warmer and longer. Loud and raucous folk music and dance serve to further amplify the holiday enthusiasm. During this time, traditional foods like Sarson da saag, Makki di roti, and til rice are made. Bonfire, with people dancing and singing traditional music as they round the fire.
