The couple, who were introduced by a mutual friend, had a pre-engagement photoshoot, the images of which gained widespread attention on social media. Before the engagment, Rinku Singh, accompanied by his family, visited the Chaudhera Wali Vichitra Devi Temple in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, to seek blessings.

Meanwhile, Guests were treated to a lavish all-vegetarian menu, specially curated to reflect regional and international flavours. The spread featured Awadhi delicacies, Bengali sweets like rasgulla and kaju-paneer rolls, and a variety of global starters — from European to Asian cuisine.

Live counters served a unique welcome drink named kuhara, a coconut-based speciality. Rinku’s favourite dishes, including paneer tikka and matar malai, also made it to the menu, alongside malai kofta, kadai paneer, veg manchurian, and spring rolls.
