An Indian wedding is not one video with one soundtrack — it is a sequence of functions, each with its own musical mood, and festival content works the same way. Treating them as separate prompts, rather than one generic 'wedding music' or 'festival music' request, gets you tracks that actually match what is happening on screen.
Wedding functions, one at a time
Each function has an established musical character worth matching rather than overriding with one all-purpose track.
- Sangeet — high-energy dance mix, dhol and modern beat blended, built for a choreographed group performance video.
- Haldi — lighter, folk-pop feel, dholki and clapping percussion, upbeat but not as intense as sangeet.
- Mehendi — relaxed, often acoustic-leaning folk-pop, good background presence without overpowering conversation in the video.
- Baraat / entry — celebratory, dhol-forward, built to feel like a procession.
Prompting each function
Name the function's energy level explicitly in your prompt, not just 'wedding music' — the difference between a sangeet track and a mehendi track is almost entirely in tempo and instrumentation intensity, which the model needs told rather than inferred.
- 'High-energy sangeet dance mix, dhol and modern beat, built for choreography' for sangeet.
- 'Light haldi function music, dholki and claps, warm and celebratory, moderate tempo' for haldi.
- 'Relaxed mehendi background music, acoustic folk-pop, gentle tempo' for mehendi.
Festival content: Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali
Festival reels usually need one of two moods, and it is worth being clear which you are making: devotional (a Ganpati aarti or bhajan for the visarjan procession or puja moment) or celebratory (fireworks-energy, dhol-driven tracks for a Diwali party reel or family gathering montage). For devotional content, paste the actual aarti or bhajan text so pronunciation is verified against it rather than letting the model write approximate lyrics.
- Ganesh Chaturthi devotional — 'traditional Ganpati aarti, harmonium and dhol, devotional male vocal' with your actual aarti text pasted in.
- Ganesh visarjan procession — 'energetic Ganpati visarjan dhol beat, celebratory group chant feel'.
- Diwali celebration — 'festive Diwali reel music, upbeat dhol and modern production, celebratory group vocal'.
Rights and commercial use
If you are making these videos for a client, a business, or a monetised channel, use a paid plan — Pro and Creator both include a commercial licence, while free-tier output is for personal use. Original AI-generated wedding and festival music also sidesteps the licensing question that comes with using a popular film track in a client video.
