    On the wedding day, Prajakta and Vrishank chose to wear custom Anita Dongre ensembles. The bride wore a cream-coloured Pichwai lehenga by the designer, while the groom complemented her in an ivory hand-embroidered silk sherwani. The bride kept her hair down and chose to accessorise the look with a veil and statement jewellery by Anita Dongre.

    While the outfits looked stunning against the verdant natural landscape that dominated the wedding venue, a little detail in the bride’s outfit made it all the more special.

    The Anita Dongre lehenga worn by Prajakta featured hand-painted parijat flowers (also known as night-blooming jasmines) by artisans from Jaipur. The bride’s name ‘Prajakta’ means parijat flowers, making this a beautiful ode to her.

    In a video shared on Instagram, Prajakta spoke about seeing her wedding lehenga for the first time, claiming that it gave her goosebumps!


    Parijat flowers are also considered auspicious in Hindu culture. They are said to represent joy, celebration, love and unity, making them the perfect flower for a wedding.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
