Wedding Vows
Business Standard

From the Alps as the backdrop to underwater nuptials, marriages are getting more extravagant, dramatic and unique, writes Abhilasha Ojha
When US-based childhood sweethearts Urvashi Kumar, 29, and Uttkarsh Dixit, 30, planned their wedding, they envisioned a royal heritage celebration in India. After their engagement in 2022, they spent seven days exploring places in Rajasthan before choosing Raffles Udaipur, one of India's largest island properties.
Despite securing the venue 18 months in advance, Kumar, an artificial intelligence specialist at Snapchat, made three more trips to India to finalize the wedding details—hiring a planner, choreographer, photographer, and selecting décor and attire. The couple also had a wedding proposal in the Maldives, and a pre-wedding photoshoot that captured them on land, water and air. The camera followed them from the archaeological sites of Petra and the desert valley of Wadi Rum in Jordan to Cappadocia and Istanbul in Türkiye, and then to the Dead Sea, and also on a hot air balloon.

The return of the nativists
The most potent signs of the integration of India’s people emerged in the first days of the Covid-19 lockdown six years ago. As shops and factories downed shutters and construction sites froze, tens of thousands of workers and their families took to the roads. Unceremoniously evicted by employers and landlords, they were forced to make their way home from the boom towns of the south and west — on foot, bicycles, bullock carts (the lucky ones by lorry or trains) — to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and West Bengal.
