Donning golden attire and a yellow turban with traditional studded ‘Kalgi’ atop, groom Mann arrived for the wedding under a Phulkari ‘dupatta’ with AAP Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha, Kejriwal and a select few AAP senior leaders walking beside him. Kejriwal performed the wedding rituals as Mann’s elder brother. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was also performed with the bride’s women friends blocking the entrance of the marriage venue.

After the conclusion of Anand Karaj ceremony, the couple took blessings of those present at the wedding. Bride Kaur, 32, an MBBS degree holder from Maharishi Markandeshwar University in Mullana in Ambala district, is the youngest of three sisters. The older ones are settled in the US and Australia. Just hours before tying the knot, Mann’s would-be bride said the auspicious day had come.

“Din Shagna Da Chadyaa (the auspicious day has come (for her wedding),” Kaur tweeted and also posted her photo. Only close family members, including Mann’s mother, sister and a few relatives and friends attended the wedding.
