Pakistani boy, Indian girl and a royal wedding in Jaipur

[Lord ZeN]

The two countries do not see eye to eye, but an Indian girl and a Pakistani boy did more than that at a wedding in Jaipur on Friday.

Kunwar Karni Singh Sodha of Amarkot district of Sindh in Pakistan tied the knot with Padmini Rathore of Kanota royal family of Jaipur district of Rajasthan.

A large number of guests, including over 100 from Pakistan, blessed Kunwar Karni Singh Sodha and Padmini Rathore as the couple exchanged wedding vows at a heritage hotel.

The guests who attended the royal wedding were given a grand welcome which included a performance by folk artists. The guests were treated to Mughlai and Rajasthani cuisines.


The marriage procession comprising decorated elephants and horses started from Trimurti circle before reaching Narain Niwas Palace.

Weddings have taken place between families in India and Pakistan before as well, but what made this wedding special was that 31 people had gone to Pakistan from Jaipur for the engagement ceremony where even the 'tika' ceremony took place which is seen as a rare occasion in Pakistan.

The family of the groom has an impressive legacy. The family had given refuge to Akbar's father, Humayun, and his wife in Amarkot (now Umerkot in Pakistan's Sindh province) as he fled to the desert region after being defeated by Sher Shah Suri in 1540.

The bride, Padmini Singh Rathore, belongs to Kanota royal family.

Around 15000 guests had attended the 'tika' ceremony in Amarkot.

Despite how the society looks at India-Pakistan relationship, the bride says she is stepping into the new phase with an open mind.

The bride's father Man Singh Kanota said it was an arranged marriage. The groom's father Rana Hamir Singh said that both the families were happy with the new relationship.

The groom's family is expected to stay in Jaipur till Holi.

He obviously has to maintain his stature as a proud Rajput in front of all the guests. But she seems happy, which is good.
