Kiran- society of creative women was invited to be part of JAAGO procession , Literally Jaago means wake up! When there is a marriage in the house, girls dance through the village streets carrying a pot (gaggar) decorated with lightened candles and sing Jaagu songs. The themes of the songs are social and usually a bit of teasing, often aimed at elders, goes with the song
One can see amazing pictures of jaago & gaggar at "Amritsar Virasat Mela 2010" at link
At Ghandi Ground a big stage was placed for open theater , with few display on heritage of punjab.
The later day there was a play - Bulleh (shah) , by Madeeha Gauhar ( theater director) ,she is associated to Ajoka Theater ,
The following day , was Sufi musical evening.
