Finally-Tying the Knot & Saying I Do
We are finally answering the question we have been asked over and over again:
'Kya iss saal karoge shaadi ?'
Yes, it's happening for real this time, and this is the first proof of our commitment to this endeavor. So, please take out your precious time and make plans to grace us with your presence.
While we can't predict every twist & turn our journey will take, we can promise a weekend filled with fun and stories that we'll talk about over dinners and lunches for years to come.

Chilika Lake -Asia's Largest Salt Water Lagoon
Chilika Lake is the largest brackish water lagoon in Asia and second largest coastal lagoon in the world, spread over the Puri, Khordha and Ganjam districts of Odisha. It has been listed as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage site.
It is the largest wintering ground for migratory waterfowl found anywhere on the Indian sub-continent. It is one of the hotspot of biodiversity in the country, and is home rare, endangered species listed in the IUCN Red List of threatened Animals.
The best time to visit the Chilika Lake is the winter months of November to February, when the variety of migratory birds can be witnessed.
It would be a great idea to set aside a few days after or before the wedding to visit the nearby cities, including the lake, beach and the temples. The wedding brings you to Odisha in November, which happens to be the best time to visit the state.
That's all for now
We are still in the planning stages, so this page will be updated as new information becomes available. Please check back regularly for the latest updates on the wedding.
