The wedding of Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Reliance Industries Limited Chairman Mukesh Ambani, and his fiancée Radhika Merchant is set to be one of the most anticipated events of the year. Scheduled for July 12, 2024, this grand affair will be held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), adhering to traditional Hindu Vedic customs.
Despite earlier rumours suggesting an international destination for the nuptials, the Ambani family has chosen to host the wedding in Mumbai, bringing a sense of local pride and showcasing the city’s grandeur. Esteemed guests have begun receiving their Save the Date invitations, characterised by traditional red and gold designs that hint at the elegance and opulence of the three-day celebration.
The wedding festivities will commence on Friday, July 12, with the Shubh Vivah, the main wedding ceremony. The dress code for this event is Indian traditional attire, reflecting the cultural heritage and grandeur of the occasion. Following this, on Saturday, July 13, the Shubh Aashirwad, or Divine Blessings ceremony, will take place, with guests advised to wear Indian formals. The celebrations will culminate on Sunday, July 14, with the Mangal Utsav, a wedding reception hosted by the Ambani family. For this final event, the dress code will be Indian Chic, adding a modern twist to traditional elegance.
The pre-wedding celebrations have already set the tone for what promises to be a lavish and culturally rich event. Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant recently hosted a pre-wedding cruise party, beginning in Italy and ending in France on June 1. This luxurious cruise featured events such as a toga party and a grand birthday bash for the Ambanis' granddaughter, Veda. The no-phone policy aboard the cruise ensured privacy, allowing guests to enjoy the festivities without distraction.
As preparations for the main wedding in Mumbai continue, there is considerable excitement and anticipation. The event is expected to highlight age-old traditions performed with grandeur, setting new trends for Indian weddings. The meticulous adherence to traditional Vedic Hindu customs will not only honor the couple's heritage but also serve as a magnificent showcase of Indian culture to the world.
This high-profile wedding will undoubtedly attract significant attention, with guests including prominent figures from various industries. The choice of the Jio World Convention Centre as the venue underscores the Ambani family's commitment to making this wedding a landmark event, blending tradition with modernity.
As the Ambani family gears up for these elaborate celebrations, the world watches in anticipation, eager to witness the union of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, and the cultural spectacle that their wedding promises to be.
