Bhubaneswar Treated to Royal Wedding

Janata Maidan infront of hotel swosti premium there was resplendent on Tuesday as Udaipur 'prince'Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar and Patnagarh 'princess'Nivritti Kumari Singhdeo tied the proverbial knot.

Dignitaries from all walks of life and royal personalities from different states descended on the city to attend the high-profile wedding.

As excited people waited with bated breath to watch the much-talked about royal wedding, Lakshyaraj, accompanied by Union power minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, appeared in a vintage car.

Both wore princely attire complete with swords on their waists. Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh, politician Suresh Kalmadi and southern army commander Lt General Ashok Singh, among other luminaries, attended the gala.

It was a treat to watch Anarkali, the richly caparisoned elephant that the groom rode to reach the wedding mandap after a Rolls Royce vintage car dropped him at the entrance of Janata Maidan. The elephant was transported to Bhubaneswar from Udaipur in a truck. Three mahouts accompanied the jumbo.

"It was a unique experience to attend the royal wedding in which people of various erstwhile kingdoms turned up in royal attire complete with turbans and swords," said a local invitee. "The bride looked very pretty. The wedding was conducted in traditional style. The food was delicious," he said.

During a pre-wedding function at a seaside hotel in Puri on Monday, the royal guests had a lucky escape after a makeshift tent reportedly collapsed near them. While the family members of the royal couple denied that anyone was injured, hotel staffers said three of the guests suffered minor injuries.

Lakshyaraj's family is expected to throw a post-wedding party at the same seaside hotel in Puri on Wednesday morning.

After the function, the relatives of both families will return to Bhubaneswar to attend the wedding reception of the newly-weds in the evening.
