About Anant and Radhika's wedding festivities
Recently, their family organised a spectacular mameru ceremony. Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani with mother Purnima Dalal, Akash Ambani with wife Shloka, Anant and Radhika and Isha Ambani with husband Anand Piramal were seen attending the ceremony. It is a Gujarati wedding tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts.
In the videos, the Ambani residence was seen fully decked up. It was embellished with red, pink, and orange flowers. Golden lights were also placed throughout to enhance its splendour. A digital screen was also installed, featuring caricatures of Anant and Radhika. "All the best," it read.
Anant and Radhika's wedding plans
A highlight of the Ambani family's wedding plans includes a chaat stall from the famous Kashi Chaat Bhandaar in Varanasi. As part of the wedding festivities, Nita Ambani visited Varanasi last month to seek blessings at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where she personally invited the shop owner, Rakesh Keshari, after sampling various chaats at his establishment. Anant, Radhika, Mukesh and Nita also organised a mass wedding for the underprivileged on July 2 at Swami Vivekanand Vidyamandir in Palghar.
