The wedding festivities kick off with the auspicious Shubh Vivah ceremony on Friday, July 12, followed by Shubh Aashirwad on Saturday, July 13. The grand finale, Mangal Utsav—the wedding reception—will take place on Sunday, July 14. The ceremonies will adhere to traditional Hindu Vedic customs, promising a lavish display of tradition and celebration.
