Traditional arts such as brasswork, pottery, Banarasi and Kanjeevaram sarees, Polki jewelry, and rosewood furniture will also be on display.
Mumbai's skyline is ablaze with lights as the city gears up for the wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are all set to tie the knot today (July 12) in a lavish wedding ceremony.
The opulent affair, set to take place at the Ambani's residence Antilia and Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, promises to be a celebration of Indian culture, spirituality, and tradition on an unparalleled scale. The wedding decor theme is ‘An Ode to Varanasi,’ paying homage to the eternal city, its traditions, piety, culture, arts, crafts, and Banarasi cuisine.
Guests can enjoy Banarasi street food like chaat, mithai, lassi, chai, khari, paan, and mukhwas. Traditional arts such as brasswork, pottery, Banarasi and Kanjeevaram sarees, Polki jewelry, and rosewood furniture will also be on display. Apart from this, there will also be an astrology shop, attar shop, florist, bangle seller, puppet show, and a photo studio.
The wedding attire will showcase the rich cultural heritage of India’s couturiers and artisans, with a burst of colors, fabrics, textures, and techniques. ‘Dashaavatar’ will be a definitive exhibit of Lord Vishnu’s ten avatars as depicted in the Puranas, offering a spectacular experience that immerses the audience in India's spiritual heritage.
Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the occasion by dressing in traditional Indian attire. The celebrations will continue on Saturday, July 13, with Shubh Aashirwad. The final event, Mangal Utsav or the wedding reception, is scheduled for Sunday, July 14. Meanwhile, a special puja was organised on Wednesday ahead of Anant and Radhika's grand wedding.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Ambani family hosted a vibrant 'haldi' ceremony at their iconic residence, Antilia, in Mumbai. The lavish affair was attended by close family members and Bollywood personalities. Among the guests were Anant's uncle and well-known businessman Anil Ambani, accompanied by his wife, the former actor Tina Ambani.
