Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding epitomises royalty and luxury and their invitation card is no different. A video by one of recipients showcasing the card has gone viral on social media, revealing the grandiose details.
As she opens the box, an audio recording begins playing, chanting Lord Vishnu's mantras. Inside, there is an image of Vaikunth, the celestial abode of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi, along with a golden book. Upon opening the book, she discovers a beautifully decorated wedding invitation card. The first page of the invitation features a detachable frame of Lord Ganesha, while the second page showcases an image of Lord Krishna along with the 'Nimantran Patra'. Further into the book, she finds a heartfelt handwritten note from the Ambani family. As she continues to turn the pages, she comes across an image of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi, followed by a detachable frame of Goddess Ambe. The book is adorned with a beautiful quote, and every page glitters like gold.
In another small orange box, she discovers a portable temple, perfect for travel. The box also contains an additional pouch, inside which she finds a handcrafted pashmina shawl from Kashmir.
The invitation, housed in a red closet, features a silver temple adorned with golden idols of Lord Ganesha and Radha Krishna. It also includes a silver box containing the invitation card, sweets and dry fruits.
The Ambani family has personalised the festivities further by sending a handwritten note to their guests, enhancing the event's intimate feel. These exclusive invites have been sent to select VVIPs and VIPs.
Notable celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan have received a different version of the invitation. This version includes a travel mandir made of silver with golden idols inside, rather than the larger silver temple.
The intricately decorated wedding card, featuring gold statues and a silver temple, is exceptionally valuable. Although the exact price is not disclosed, experts estimate that the cost of each card could run into several lakh rupees.
The couple is set to marry on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Following the wedding, two additional events will take place: 'Shubh Aashirwad' on July 13 and 'Mangal Utsav' or the wedding reception on July 14.
