In a remarkable display of social consciousness and simplicity, the son of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, Dr. Abhimanyu Yadav, opted for a mass wedding ceremony for his nuptials. He tied the knot with Dr. Ishita Patel alongside 21 other couples in a collective celebration held in Sanwara Khedi, Ujjain. This unique event moved away from traditional, extravagant political weddings, focusing instead on the blessings shared among 22 couples and promoting a powerful message of social harmony and equality. The ceremony, though understated, attracted significant attention from prominent figures. Dignitaries in attendance included Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot, Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia and Durga Das Uikey, Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, spiritual leader Baba Ramdev, and Bageshwar Dham’s Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. Baba Ramdev personally officiated the wedding, bestowing his blessings upon all participating couples. Dhirendra Shastri lauded the event, advocating for the promotion of such cost-effective mass weddings as embodiments of social unity and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed his profound gratitude for the occasion, highlighting it as a ‘triveni’ – a confluence of Sanatan culture, social harmony, and equality. The Chief Minister’s son’s decision has been widely praised by netizens, who see it as a commendable example against the backdrop of increasingly opulent wedding trends.
