Many Indian temples, particularly in the South, are ideal places to have one's wedding. Cheaper, serene and cleaner than so called wedding halls.Wedding being a sacred event signifying the union of two souls, it is best to celebrate in sacred surroundings. Have a simple ceremony, mass feed the less fortunate and later have a grand party for relatives and friends. ( ours was in Tirupathi in 1970). It is a pity our folks don't see the beauty in their own backyard. I say the same with Indian movie makers rushing off to foreign locales instead of showing off local beautiful places that may promote tourism. RBI should deny foreign exchange to these guys, if necessary.

If having a happy wedding is by having a big fat wedding then I would agree with expensive wedding but India being a poor country why spent so unnecessarily when it does not guarantee a happy marriage but a lot of corruption so as to be able to afford a big fat wedding and no wonder in India we have so much corruption because they want to compete... The wedding in India is a facade and when will Indians wake up from their slumber...I'm an Indian who believe in having a simple but meaningful happy family instead of trying to keep up with the Jones....with so much money spent on weddings they could have easily given to the newly married couple to start their family especially for those who are from not so rich family background, I'm not talking about the stinking rich businessmen who wants to flaunts their riches but those who hold government jobs because I think there's a lot of corruption going on because they want to compete with the affluent family .....

India's wedding season, which takes place over a three-week period between late November and mid-December, is expected to generate over $50 billion in business this year. Close to four million weddings will be held in the country, with destination weddings becoming increasingly popular among the rich and famous. The trend has been such that the Indian Ministry of Tourism has launched a campaign to promote weddings in India, and Prime Minister Modi has questioned the need for Indians to travel abroad for weddings. High-end weddings can cost between $1m and $5m, with hotel bookings for guests over two days alone costing up to $600,000. India has over 790,000 high net worth individuals and 161 billionaires. Rajasthan, Goa, Uttarakhand, and Tamil Nadu remain popular Indian destinations for weddings, with picturesque mountains, serene beaches, and historical palaces among the attractions. Despite the growing demand for foreign destination weddings, India remains a viable option for couples seeking a grand and luxurious celebration.

I am not a staunch supporter of any party, yet I concur that Mr. Modi, as the Prime Minister of India, was not erroneous in his plea to the affluent families to host their nuptial ceremonies within the sequestered confines of the nation. The voluntary nature of his plea averted the potential perception of undue imposition, exemplifying judicious and discerning restraint It is noteworthy that familial prerogative prevails in the determination of venues, an ethos dictated by individual autonomy. Intriguingly, there exist a few countries clean wherein the allure and hygiene of locales render the aggregate expenditure comparably favourable. Furthermore, a whole lot of kids in India have a strong penchant of pursuing matrimonial, educational, or residential endeavors abroad. The imperative encapsulated in the term 'must', as crafted by the other person, is a bit condescending, as such mandates find no global precedent, save for the case of North Korea.

Why are you so jealous. Let them decide if they want to experience new place just like foreigners visist india for new experience

[@Lankanaresh6137]

@@erikerikson5434 i am not jealous i just express my opinion on this topic. And also it generate job if rich families marry in their own motherland

Indians still think spending money in weddings imply the marriage will be happy. We have to change this mind set fast, we need to normalise small weddings with only nearest and dearest quickly.

[@user-cd3ys6yq9r]

It is a catharasis thing,for too long indians didnt have noney and saw the westerners spend while dreaming to be in a position to spend like that. When they did get money they just cant help but show off that we have arrived and are an equal. That money should be spent within india though.Make it difficult to obtain licences to marry abroad,this will deter most of them,plus publicise grand weddings on social media and involving the state tourism industry to propogate that destination weddings can be grand within india. If need be call forwigners too to india to participate in the weddings and fulfil the rich peoples desire to show off to the westerners. They are human and vanity is part of that nature so that is that. Nothing more,nothing less.

[@user-cd3ys6yq9r]

Rajasthan,goa,Lakshadweep,andaman even jammu and Uttarakhand can be promoted for such weddings. But I would like north east being explored for such tourism too.those states can really capitalise on these wedding tourism

The last comment about the actresses, someone who was not even born in India chose to get married here, while people born and brought up in India are interested in going outside of the country. Privacy problems exist for everyone, really.

Learn from Tata’s .The Next generation Tata-Kirloskar wedding was a simple one.

[@samrai7275]

Rich Indians, film actors feel they don't deserve India, they secretly in love the concept of they shouldn't have born as Indians. Tax film actors more upto 70 percent

[@GodKnowsWhoAmI]

And think Priyaanka Chopra. She married an American, but shaadi was in india. This trend of big fat wedding shud stop. Why dont all these people use that money for something better.

[@Abhisekhdutta]

Because Indian wedding planners aren’t organised.Moreover considering our Population its better to marry outside India.

[@dollypathak255]

[@inkedia]

The only reason is Indian Reporters are getting into personal life of individuals...

[@yahooezone]

Send your ED/IT to check and siege the black money as they plan for these foreign destination wedding, if they are clean let them do whatever they want (we can only request them to do it in India).

[@rajanslathia6127]

4 million weddings in December and 4 million births in September...job competition starts...God save us

[@Meekification]

Indian or otherwise, people have the right to choose how and where they get married. Modi has no right to interfere in these issues. Time will be better spent by the PM's office to talk about how tunnel collapses can be prevented, how GST should be refunded to state governments, and million other useful things.

Exodus 20:3-6 You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

[@manh9105]

how is this nonsense relevant here?

[@linauk5026]

I see lots of Indians in holiday destinations that I would never have seen before 10 years ago. Bollywood has sadly portrayed anything associated with India and its heritage, such as language, education and now even weddings as not trendy or lack of success. A great shame really…

[@saveoursoul.s.]

😂😂😂 finally a little bit of space to breath 🫁😂

[@lealyan]

how about a marriage in the hills, travelling by bus to a small church/temple with close familly members for the wedding?

[@Radhe_riya97]

As a being Indian I fully support who said our prime minister he's telling 100% true we should think about that all indian for weeding best place to our ancestors lovely Indian place.. India is not little country it's very Big so we can celebrate celect any place according to our easy

[@ayushimishra1912]

[@aartishah7988]

Enjoy your wedding, spend lavishly, but why can't you contribute something to your own country. Many people are indirectly earning their livelihood in this country through you.

[@saviourofworld]

[@sasmitasubudhi8478]

When marriages r concerned I like it in traditional way because the real joyful vive of wedding is experienced 1'month b4 the marriage including shopping ,rituals wt our relatives more than that on the day of wedding which we can never enjoy in foreign land.
