Dibrugarh: In a heartwarming celebration of love and community, a resident of Dibrugarh town orchestrated a grand mass wedding for 21 couples, all while marking his own daughter’s special day.
The North Assam provincial committee of the social organisation Dharm Jagran Samanvay conducted the Vedic wedding rituals at the Shree Agrasen Milan Mandir in Dibrugarh. This unique event was the brainchild of social worker Sudhir Kejriwal and his family, who decided to share their joy by bringing together these couples in holy matrimony. The event was inaugurated by Dibrugarh Mayor Saikat Patra.
Expressing his joy about organizing the mass wedding, Sudhir Kejriwal said that when his daughter’s marriage was fixed a year ago, the idea of such an event came to his mind.
“We discussed it with Dharm Jagran Samanvay, and the mass wedding was organized to coincide with my daughter’s marriage. Some people spend extensively on weddings, while many are deprived of proper marriages due to financial constraints. I’m very happy to be part of this program,” Kejriwal said. Rachana Jain, coordinator of the mass wedding, said that this was the first time in Dibrugarh that a father had organised a mass wedding of 21 couples to mark his daughter’s marriage.
