One of the world’s most extravagant weddings has been held in the southern state of Karnataka. It is estimated to have cost at least 5bn rupees ($74m; £59m).
The wedding of businessman and Indian politician G Janardhana Reddy’s daughter, Brahmani, has been met with anger as millions of Indians are struggling in the midst of a cashflow crisis.
The bride’s wedding sari alone cost 170m rupees ($2.5m; £2m) and she wore jewellery worth 900m rupees ($13m; £10m), reports said.
The groom, 23-year-old Rajeev Reddy, is the scion of a business family from the southern city of Hyderabad.
Brazilian samba dances were just one of the many shows put on for the guests at the wedding.
