As India’s wedding season begins, venues fill with marigolds, music, and movement. Across cities, the air hums with brass bands, shehnai, DJ and anticipation. Weddings here are not mere ceremonies they are festivals, spectacles, and sometimes, social performances. It’s also the time of year when something unusual happens- om family or at the event. But this wedding season, a new trend is taking centre stage: tourists attending vibrant, traditional Indian weddings, laughing, hugging the bride and groom, and celebrating almost like friends. Increasingly, foreign travellers are signing up to experience these weddings firsthand, not as distant observers, but as active participants. What might once have sounded improbable now fits seamlessly into India’s evolving tourism landscape, where weddings serve as both cultural experiences and travel adventures.
