Wedding bells echo in the Ambani Household as the family gears up for the much-awaited marriage ceremony of Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant, which is to be held on July 12, in Mumbai. To kickstart the festivities, the family organised a 'Samuh Vivah' (mass wedding) for approximately 50 poor couples from the Palghar district, which is about 100 kilometers from Mumbai. The wedding took place at Reliance Corporate Park and was attended by almost 800 people, including the newlyweds' families. Beginning this ritual, the Ambani family vowed to assist hundreds more of these marriages across the country in the coming wedding seasons.

The Ambani family upholds the timeless Indic dictum, "Manav seva hi Madhav seva"—"Service to humanity is service to God." In the spirit of this principle, they have a tradition of beginning every major family occasion by providing for and serving others, reinforcing their commitment to the community.

The Mass Wedding Ceremony:

Nita Ambani and Mukesh Ambani, accompanied by their family members, attended the function and extended their heartfelt wishes to the couples, adding a personal touch to the auspicious occasion.

As a gesture of goodwill, each couple was presented with gold ornaments, including Mangalsutra, wedding rings, and nose rings. They also received silver ornaments, such as toe rings and anklets. In addition, each bride was presented with a cheque for Rs. 1.01 lakh (one lakh and one thousand) as her 'streedhan.’

Each couple was also gifted with grocery and household items sufficient for one year, including a variety of 36 essential items and utensils, appliances such as a gas stove, mixer, and fan, as well as a mattress and pillows.

Earlier, the Ambanis have run food service, or Anna Seva, for people in the nearby communities and with NGOs.

Pre-Wedding Events:

Prior to the wedding, Ambanis held lavish pre-wedding celebrations- one in Jamnagar and another on a French Cruise in Italy- attended by global business executives, government officials, and celebrities from Hollywood and Bollywood.

The Main Wedding Ceremony:

Anant and Radhika's main wedding festivities will commence on July 12 with the Shubh Vivah ceremony. Guests attending this event are urged to dress in traditional Indian attire to celebrate the occasion's cultural significance. The celebrations will continue on July 13 with the Shubh Aashirwad, followed by the Mangal Utsav, or wedding reception, on July 14.

As the wedding day approaches, expectation grows for the Ambanis' planned series of celebrations. The celebrations are set to be a perfect blend of heritage, modernity, and social responsibility, reflecting the values and aspirations of one of India's most distinguished families.
