In line with her vision of sharing India’s rich cultural heritage with the world, the Ambani family will be paying homage to the holy city of Kashi or Varanasi at the much-awaited wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
Resting in the sacred embrace of Ganga, Varanasi is the cradle of Indian civilization. Leading up to the nuptials, Nita Ambani paid a visit to the ancient seat of culture to seek the blessings of Kashi Vishwanath for the new couple. Her deep reverence for the ‘Eternal City’ is manifested in thoughtful thematic details of the wedding, where its beauty, positivity, light, and purity will be reimagined in spectacular ways.
