About this design
Chaar Laavan opens in the hour before dawn. The screen is deep indigo with the last stars, and a gold ੴ above the names. Tap, and the night lifts away upward: the sky warms to saffron and rose, rings spread across the sarovar, and the names rise out of their own reflection in the water.
Inside, every scene is a miniature painting on aged ivory paper, framed in a rose and gold border like a page from a Punjab court album. The Jaago night unrolls first, then the Anand Karaj: a round painting of the bride holding the palla, and four gold arcs that close around it one by one, one for each laav. The reception follows at dusk, and the page itself darkens from morning to evening as you scroll, ending under the evening star.
Then the day, time and gurdwara with directions, a countdown in four marble niches, RSVP and who is coming. The Jaago and the reception can be left out.
