They say that the program was organized as per religious traditions and no rules were violated in it.

Viral videos show the elaborately decorated wedding venue, a large number of guests, and the presence of several high-profile personalities. It's being reported that the ceremony was based on a religious theme, with statues of Hindu deities. A huge statue of Lord Shiva was installed on the main stage, before which the garland ceremony took place. Social media is also claiming that approximately ₹70 lakh was spent on fireworks alone.

While this high-profile wedding is making headlines for its grandeur and religious ceremony, the matter remains in constant discussion due to questions raised about the rules and traditions.
