CHIEF Minister Dr Mohan Yadav, and his family, has set an example of social harmony, simplicity and inclusiveness by performing the wedding of his younger son at a mass marriage ceremony in Ujjain. Yoga guru Swami Ramdev officiated the union of 21 couples, calling it a divine marriage and praising the CM for leading by example. Dr Abhimanyu Yadav, the Chief Minister’s son, married Dr Ishita at the ceremony, sharing the same mandap with couples from different social and economic backgrounds.

 

Governor Mangubhai Patel congratulated the newlyweds, describing the event as a supreme example of social equality. Dr Yadav welcomed the guests and highlighted that the mass wedding reflected Sanatan traditions while promoting inclusivity. Couples from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes also participated, reinforcing the spirit of unity and social integration. Pandit Dhirendra Shastri lauded the low-cost, inclusive nature of the ceremony, noting it as a modern example of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.

 

In a generous gesture, Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, Mansa Devi Trust, Haridwar, and Junna Akhara announced Rs 1 lakh for each newlywed couple. All couples, including the CM’s son and daughter-in-law, received blessings from spiritual leaders.
