How GI.EVENTS can help with Baraat
The baraat is the groom's procession to the venue, and it carries a family's joy through the streets: the ghodi or buggy, the band baja, the dhol, lights and dancing relatives. It has to fit the route, the muhurat and local rules on processions and music. GI.EVENTS helps you describe the route, the timings and what you want in the procession, then request options from providers. Animals, vehicles, musicians, permissions and charges are confirmed directly before anything is booked.
- Choosing a ghodi, buggy or decorated vehicle for the groom
- Arranging the band baja, dhol players and lights for the procession
- Planning the route, the start time and the arrival at the venue
- Checking which permissions the route and the music need
- Keeping elders, children and traffic in mind along the way
What to share in your brief
- Start point, venue and approximate route length
- Date and the time the baraat must arrive
- Approximate number of people walking
- What you want: ghodi, buggy, band, dhol or lights
Questions to ask before you book
- What is included: ghodi or buggy, band, dhol, lights or all of them?
- How many musicians and light bearers will walk with the baraat?

Rules worth knowing
- Under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, a loudspeaker or public address system needs written permission from the local authority and is generally not used between 10 pm and 6 am, except in closed premises such as auditoriums, community halls and banquet halls. States can set limited exceptions, so check the timings for your venue and date.

Rules change and differ by state and venue, so check the current position for your date and place. This is general information, not legal advice.

Common questions
Do we need permission for a baraat on the road?
Often, yes. Rules on processions, music and road use differ by city, so ask the local police or authority what is needed well before the date. Your venue and band may know what is usually asked for locally.
How do we know the ghodi is well cared for?
Ask the provider how the horse is fed, rested and watered, how long it will walk and who handles it. A calm, rested animal is safer for the groom and the guests.
Can GI.EVENTS help find baraat providers for an event in my city?
On request, yes. GI.EVENTS facilitates events throughout India and can help you request a shortlist of baraat providers for your city, subject to verification of local capacity. The site does not list baraat for every city, and availability, scope and prices are confirmed directly before anything is booked.
