Grand wedding reception for Varun Gandhi in Uttar Pradesh

BJP MP Varun Gandhi's marriage was a simple affair but not his wedding reception.

Nearly one lakh people attended the reception that the Nehru-Gandhi scion hosted in his Lok Sabha constituency Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh today.

Guests from urban and rural areas enjoyed the feast in which 53 delicacies were served.

Over 1200 workers were engaged in catering and other arrangements, the organisers of the function said.

The newly-wedded couple greeted the guests and personally invited them for the lunch.

Gandhi tied the nuptial knot with Bengali girl Yamini at a temple on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi on March six.
