Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s son, Dr. Abhimanyu Yadav, and his bride, Dr. Ishita Patel, recently participated in a unique mass wedding ceremony in Ujjain’s Sanwara Khedi. They were among 22 couples who exchanged vows in a collective celebration that prioritized social harmony and equality over individual grandeur. This approach significantly diverged from the typical high-profile wedding narratives often seen with political figures. The event was graced by several high-ranking dignitaries, including Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot, Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia and Durga Das Uikey, Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, prominent Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, and Bageshwar Dham seer Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. A key highlight was Baba Ramdev officiating the ceremony and blessing all couples equally. Dhirendra Krishna Shastri emphasized the importance of such low-cost, community weddings in fostering social unity and embodying the ideals of the Bhagavad Gita. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav took to social media to express his joy and gratitude, noting how the ceremony symbolized the confluence of ancient culture, social harmony, and equality. The public has widely lauded this move, with many netizens commending the CM for promoting a positive example against the trend of costly and elaborate wedding celebrations.
