About Our Anand Karaj

Our Journey

We met at the Gurdwara during a kirtan program. Our love grew through shared faith, values, and countless conversations about Sikhi. Today, we unite not just as husband and wife, but as spiritual partners on the path of righteousness.

Sacred Ceremony

Join us for our Anand Karaj (blissful union) ceremony at the Gurdwara, followed by langar (community meal) and celebration. This sacred ceremony represents the union of two souls on their spiritual journey together.
