Band, baaja, baraat and… traffic jams

Be ready to encounter loud music, people dancing on the streets, and a general euphoria amongst the masses as wedding season officially began on Tuesday, which marked the auspicious occasion of Dev Uthani Ekadashi, when around 50,000 weddings were celebrated in the National Capital. However, what is ‘party mode’ for some will be a major headache for the commuters traversing through the roads of Delhi, especially through South Delhi and East Delhi.

The sounds of celebration will continue until December 16 with the city witnessing around 4.5 lakh weddings across the different venues in Delhi in a span of 18 days. The day is also seeing a surge in weddings since the day also marks ‘Tulsi Vivah’, which is considered a highly auspicious day to get married as Goddess Tulsi married Shaligram, a form of Lord Vishnu.
