Radhika Merchant, the daughter of businessman Viren Merchant, and Anant Ambani, the younger son of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, are set to have a lavish wedding that is much-awaited. At the JIO Convention Centre in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), the festivities are set to last for three days, starting on July 3, 2024.
Many famous people from India and overseas, including Bollywood stars and well-known cricket players, will attend the high-profile wedding. Politicians like Mamata Banerjee and Lalu Prasad Yadav are anticipated to attend, underscoring the importance of the occasion.
The wedding ceremonies started today at 3:00 PM, as per the schedule. At eight in the evening, the bride and groom will exchange floral garlands during the Varmala ceremony. The Pheras, the customary rounds around the sacred fire, will begin at 9:30 p.m. and take place after this. These events hold great significance as they signify the couple's official union.
Traditional values and cultural heritage have been carefully considered in the planning of the festivities. Ahead of today's major ceremonies, many earlier rituals, such as Mameru, Sangeet, Haldi, and Mehendi, have already been performed. The location has been beautifully designed with an emphasis on Indian customs and aesthetics to create a spellbinding ambiance.
The JIO Convention Center is the site of Anant and Radhika's marriage vow exchange. It was picked for this important event because of its grandeur and fitting atmosphere. Additional events will be held during the three days of the wedding reception, which is scheduled to follow the main ceremonies.
