The beautiful Delhi instant.

[Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi]

One sunny noon The Delhi Walla saw a bride and a groom at a temple in Mandir Marg, Central Delhi. The couple was in the temple’s lawn, along with a few relatives and a priest. They were sitting under a canopy made of pink and yellow silk. It was decorated with flowers. The priest was reciting Vedic verses. A large fruit basket was placed beside a platter of uncooked rice. After offering an apple to the gods, the couple got up and exchanged rose-and-chameli garlands. The relatives clapped. The couple posed for photos. It was a beautiful moment.

Do as the priest says
