Can You Wear A Full Wedding Outfit If You've Taken Amrit?

Was just intrigued to know if it was okay to wear a full wedding outfit - such as red lehnga, chura, necklace, etc - after taking amrit/if wearing a dastaar?

Is there anything in the Rehat against it or does it not matter?

[Raaj.Karega.Khalsa]

There's nothing entirely black and white. In fact, it all depends on how strict you'd like to follow your rehat.

There are people who wouldn't wear red with dastar at all.

There are others who don't mind any amount of make up and jewellery either.

Of course, cutting ANY hair is a total NO.

Everyone has different views about such situations. Go for what you think is okay for you. There aren't strictly any hard and fast rules about this in the Sikh Rehat Maryada (as far as I know).

I think the blue/white coloured wedding combo looks awesome on males as well as females. I don't think you need to go red if you're Amritdhari at the time of marriage. But of course it's your choice.

I would like to ask you a question (to Brunette OP)... why do you want to take amrit?

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but here it seems that you are trying to decide between amrit and a wedding outfit? It could be that depending on opinions from various people, you wear the outfit/ accessories/ do things slightly differently to follow tradition etc and you choose to take amrit later... now that is assuming that you will have an opportunity later. It could be that you take amrit and change the colour of your outfit.

Either way > Think carefully about what you truely want and once you know, your question will be answered.

A humble request to all posters, to allow penji time for self reflection. There are posts that have been made previously if penji whats to search on what is suitable entire for an amritdahri wedding (and penji above has made some suggestions) or better still search deep within, for her answer.

P.S I am not asking you to share your answer but to realise it.

Thanks.

As long as what is worn is modest and suitable in maharaj's hazoori what is the problem? In the west even in Punjab, Sikhs wear western clothes, so what is the issue it's not like all Sikhs wear bana. Clothes are clothes as long as they are apporpriate.

Traditional Sikh weddings from what I understand were carried out in a very simple manner wih the bride and groom wearing simple clothing. The wearing of red bridal outfits, heavy jewellry etc..is not a Sikh tradition I think it comes from the hindu system. If you've taken amrit when your married you bana is far superior to any wedding outfit.

Do not wear make-up or jewellery. Do not commit adultery.

The above is Rehat given by the first Punj Pyare, whose head was cut off and was brought back to life with Khanda Bhatta da Amrit.

Knowing that a Punj Pyare has given this rehat, would Guru Sahib accept your outfit? This rehat is given to not be a giddar in lions clothing, but to root bhagati in your life and then watch it grow into something Guru Sahib loves.................Rehat is more dear to Guru Sahib than the Sikh
