Narayan Seva Sansthan to Host 44th Mass Wedding for the Differently-abled and Economically Weaker Sections
Udaipur. The greatest blessing in life is to hold someone’s hand and pledge to walk together through every circumstance. When two souls unite to share joys and sorrows, the foundation of a family is laid. To ensure that even those deprived of this sacred bond due to poverty or disability can experience the sanctity of marriage, Narayan Seva Sansthan is once again set to host a unique social celebration.
On August 30 and 31, the 44th Free Mass Wedding Ceremony for the differently-abled and underprivileged will be organized at the Seva Mahatirth premises in Leo Ka Guda, Udaipur. On this occasion, 51 couples will take the sacred seven vows, beginning a new journey of companionship and happiness.
A Testament of Love and Courage
According to the Sansthan’s Public Relations Head Bhagwan Prasad Gaur, among the couples, some are visually impaired, some have lost mobility in their limbs, while others move forward despite severe physical challenges. Some pairs consist of one differently-abled and one able-bodied partner. Each story will serve as a living example that:
“True companionship is not of the body alone, but of the soul and the heart.”
Ceremony to Begin with Ganesh Vandana
On August 30 at 10:15 AM, Founder Padma Shri Kailash ‘Manav’, Co-founder Kamla Devi, and President Prashant Agarwal will inaugurate the festival with Lord Ganesh’s invocation. Traditional events such as Mehendi, Sangeet, and Bindoli will add color, while on August 31, rituals of Torana, Varmala, Paanigrahan, and Mangal Sutra will solemnize the unions.
A Festival of Rebirth and Blessings
This celebration is more than just weddings; it is a festival of social rebirth. Couples who were once healed, rehabilitated, and empowered by the Sansthan through surgeries, artificial limbs, and vocational training, will now return with their families to bless the new brides and grooms.
So far, through 43 such ceremonies, 2,459 couples have been united. This year too, the entire event will be broadcast live so that the nation can witness these new beginnings.
The Sacred Echo of Vedic Traditions
The wedding pavilion will house 51 holy altars, with priests chanting Vedic hymns as brides and grooms perform the seven sacred vows around the holy fire. Amidst the emotional tears of guardians, the scene will symbolize not just a religious act, but the most powerful expression of human compassion and social responsibility.
During a press conference, the Sansthan released the official wedding poster in the presence of PR Head Bhagwan Prasad Gaur, Media In-charge Vishnu Sharma Hiteshi, Wedding Coordinators Rohit Tiwari and Banshilal Meghwal.
Gifts of a New Life
To support the couples in building their households, the Sansthan will gift them all essential items including utensils, bed, wardrobe, sewing machine, stove, fan, bedding, and bridal essentials. These are not just objects, but blessings to help their new lives flourish with dignity and joy.
Emotional Farewell in Dolis
The most heartfelt moment will come when brides, in symbolic ‘Doli’ processions, bid farewell alongside their husbands. The Sansthan will arrange for their respectful journey to their native villages. This farewell will carry a powerful message:
“Every daughter, whether poor or differently-abled, deserves to leave as the goddess of her new home with honor and dignity.”
This mass wedding is not just an event—it is a festival of humanity, where compassion, inclusion, and social harmony come together to script new chapters of life.
