Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's youngest son Anant and industrialist Viren Merchant's daughter Radhika sought the blessing of Lord Krishna at the temple before beginning the ceremonies. The functions started with a Lord Ganesh puja followed by the reading of the traditional Lagan Patrika (wedding invitation).
Anant's sister and Reliance Retail director Isha Ambani visited the Merchant's residence to invite them to the evening's functions. The engagement festivities started with welcoming the Merchants to the Ambani family residence, 'Antilia', amidst Aarti and chanting of mantras. The house was decorated with flowers and balloons. The couple exchanged the rings after the Gol Dhana and Chunari Vidhi ceremonies. After exchanging the rings, the couple sought blessings from the elders in the family. The Ambanis posed for the shutterbugs after the ceremonies concluded.
While the bride-to-be was a stunner in a gold glittering lehenga with intricate embroidery, the soon-to-be groom kept it classy in a navy blue kurta-pyjama with a matching embellished Nehru jacket. The white-themed engagement saw Isha, who welcomed her twins last year with businessman husband Anand Piramal, opted for a chic white ensemble with chunky Kundan jewellery. New dad Anand was twinning with his better half in a white kurta-pyjama and a matching Nehru jacket.
