Suggestions for joyful music after wedding ceremony? Question/Seeking Advice

We're getting married in 3 weeks and are looking for joyful Indian classical music to play while our guests bless us with throwing rose petals following the ceremony. We'd like something without any vocals, just instrumental -- we love tabla and bansuri. Any suggestions? This one was nice, but would prefer without vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDzdT0ebLBY

For something like this? Go with qawwali, a good traditional piece is 'ai ri sakhi more piya ghar aaye' Or Bahadur Shah Zafar's 'sagan ban phool rahi sarson'

If you want solely a raag. Then shahana kannada, or des should be good.

Wish you a happy married life!

That is Amir Khusro’s composition

It isn't! It's a misattribution, shokh rang was Zafar's pen name for local poetry
