In a noteworthy departure from custom, Dr. Abhimanyu Yadav, son of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, embraced a mass wedding for his union with Dr. Ishita Patel. The ceremony, held in Sanwara Khedi, Ujjain, saw 22 couples, including the CM’s son, tie the knot in a shared celebration that championed simplicity and social cohesion. This event was far from the ostentatious affairs often associated with political families, instead focusing on communal blessings and a strong statement about equality. The gathering drew a notable contingent of political and spiritual leaders. Attendees included Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel, Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot, Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia and Durga Das Uikey, Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar, Baba Ramdev, and Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham. Baba Ramdev not only attended but also officiated the mass wedding, extending blessings to every couple. Dhirendra Shastri praised the initiative, suggesting that such community-focused, economical weddings are vital for promoting social harmony and upholding cultural principles. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed his heartfelt thanks, characterizing the event as a beautiful blend of tradition, unity, and equality. The decision has resonated positively with many online, who view it as an inspiring example in an era of extravagant weddings.
