'''Chirag Pehchan''' was a 1980s [[Bhangra (music)|Bhangra]] band in the UK, formed by [[Amarjit Sidhu]] and [[Mangal Singh]] by merging the two Punjabi bhangra groups Chirag and Pehchan, best remembered for the 1987 classic album ''[[Rail Gaddi]]'', composed by [[Kuljit Bhamra]]. Their song Rail Gaddi was sung by Mangal Singh and became a popular [[party piece]] at the end of Indian weddings, synonymous with ''[[Do The Conga]]'', where wedding guests form lines, pretending to be a train, dancing around the wedding hall.<ref>{{cite web|url={{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p466046|pure_url=yes}}|title=Biography: Chirag Pehchan|last=Harris|first=Craig|publisher=[[Allmusic]]|accessdate=25 May 2010}}</ref><ref name="Culture">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gJxADwAAQBAJ&q=rail+gaddi+mangal+singh&pg=PT77|title=Staging British South Asian Culture: Bollywood and Bhangra in British Theatre|last=Daboo|first=Jerri|date=2017|publisher=[[Routledge]]|isbn=9781317196112|language=en}}</ref><ref name="asian">{{Cite web|url=http://www.asianentertainmentsuk.com/mangal.html|title=Mangal Singh - Asian Entertainments|website=www.asianentertainmentsuk.com|access-date=22 June 2019}}</ref><ref name="vads">{{Cite web|url=https://vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=47366&sos=0|title=Chirag Pehchan Group, Rail Gaddi, by Chirag Pehchan - Cassette Sleeve - SALIDAA - VADS: the online resource for visual arts|website=vads.ac.uk|access-date=22 June 2019}}</ref><ref name="Desiblitz">{{Cite web|url=https://www.desiblitz.com/content/uk-bhangra-bands-1980s|title=10 Popular UK Bhangra Bands from the 1980s|date=21 August 2018|website=DESIblitz|language=en|access-date=22 June 2019}}</ref>
