What is inside Anant Ambani's wedding invitation? Gold idol, silver temple and more

As the wedding day for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant approaches, the lavish wedding invitation has captured the internet's attention. Set for July 12 in Mumbai, the grand affair will see a blend of tradition and opulence, starting with an invitation that has become the talk of the town. The extravagant invite, a box resembling a temple, is adorned with intricate details and divine imagery.

Ambanis' Extravagant Invitation

A recently shared video on social media shows the wedding invite's red box opening to reveal a small silver temple, accompanied by the soothing sound of Hindi mantras. The temple, made from silver, features gold idols of various Hindu deities, including Lord Ganesh, Radha-Krishna, and Goddess Durga.

Upon opening, the invitation reveals different cards for each wedding function. One card, crafted from silver and resembling the main gate of an ancient temple, details the events and includes images of several Hindu gods. Another card within the invitation box features intricate carvings of Lord Vishnu, alongside smaller frames and idols of Hindu deities, all set against a backdrop of devotional chants.

Social Media Reactions

The wedding invite includes several keepsakes, such as an embroidered cloth with the initials "AR," a blue shawl, and a silver box filled with more gifts. This lavish display has drawn mixed reactions online. One Reddit user humorously commented, “Ek cupboard bhi bhej dete, to keep the ‘wedding card’,” while another remarked, “This card is my entire shaadi budget bro.”

Ahead of the wedding, Nita Ambani, mother of the groom, visited the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi to present the first invitation to Lord Shiva. Expressing her joy, Nita shared, “Today, I have brought the wedding invitation of my Anant and Radhika. I have come to present it at the feet of the Lord.”

The Grand Ambani Ceremony

The pre-wedding celebrations have been equally grand. The first event took place in Jamnagar, featuring performances by international stars like Katy Perry, Diljit Dosanjh, and Rihanna. The second pre-wedding event was held on a luxury cruise in Europe, with numerous celebrities in attendance.

As the wedding day draws near, the anticipation continues to build. The main ceremonies will start on July 12 with the Shubh Vivah, followed by the Shubh Aashirwad on July 13, and concluding with the Mangal Utsav on July 14. This wedding, a fusion of tradition and grandeur, is set to be a memorable affair, marking the union of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in the most spectacular fashion.
