Kota mass wedding ceremony: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister (CM) Dr Mohan Yadav on Sunday reached Rajasthan’s Kota, where he attended a mass marriage ceremony.

He said on the occasion, “Daughters are akin to divine incarnations. Through them, two households become one.”

CM Dr Yadav calls for simplicity in weddings

CM Dr Yadav reflected on the sanctity of marriage in Sanatan dharma, noting that among the 16 Sanskaars, the marriage ritual holds a special spot, as it introduces daughters to a new family and imparts them a new life. He urged the attendees of the event to avoid extravagance in weddings and adopt simplicity instead. 

He asserted, “Lavish spending and unnecessary loans should be avoided. Weddings can be organised with minimal expenditure and dignity,” adding that he also solemnised his son’s marriage in a similar mass wedding ceremony.
