Groom watches in disbelief as drone delivering 'varmala' crashes during wedding ceremony. Viral video
A viral video showed a drone delivering a varmala at a wedding, but it crashed before the groom could take it.
Gone are the days when weddings were simple, focusing solely on rituals like the Jaimala and Pheras. Modern weddings have evolved into grand spectacles, often more about luxury and status than traditions. With this shift, social media has become a hub for wedding-related content, showcasing everything from extravagant décor to amusing blunders. Now, one such video has gone viral, capturing an unexpected twist in a Varmala ceremony.

Drone delivery gone wrong
In the now-viral video, a couple is in the middle of their Varmala exchange, a ritual where the bride and groom place garlands around each other’s necks. However, instead of a person handing over the garland, a drone was used to deliver it in a tech-savvy move.
As the groom eagerly reaches for the garland, the drone hovers unpredictably. In a comical turn of events, rather than gracefully stopping, the drone spirals out of control and crashes. The groom, visibly amused, looks at the drone operator before returning his gaze to the fallen gadget. The entire incident was captured on camera, leaving wedding guests and netizens in splits.
