Few events in our society shine a mirror on its inherent complexities more than the miracle that is a “mass marriage”.
In a me-too culture teeming with meaningless, ostentatious weddings lubricated by dowry, the fact that so many are willing sit in line and buck the trend is proof that the desire to do what is right is a universal human trait; and one that goes deep down defying the usual urban/rural, rich/poor, literate/illiterate stereotypes.

I dont care what is santhosh lad and his corruption .
This cause is noble
I heard – there Muslim couples as well. Does anyone have pictures of how they were accommodated in this whole event?
In all – very moving.
Good. Saves money. Our biz tycoons waste lot of money. Wud like like to see mass marriage of children of biz tycoons…
Excellent Mr.Lad,keep it up.
Some people marry under water and some in mid air in a hot air balloon. All kinds of things are tried by the rich, to make their marriage special and unique.
So why not biz tycoons conduct a mass marriage like this along with their ward’s marriage?
It would be really great to do so!
Such moves should be welcomed by one and all…that’s how the society and its attitude can change.
Good work. This is in a time when in many ‘developed’ societies, majority of child birth are outside wedlock.
Recently a politician belonging to a national party and , of course an ex-minister performed hsis son’s marriage in a mass marriage like this. REally a lauadable one. The paradox of it is that he arranged for a very grand reception in Mysore in a very biog choultry for his friends and admirers, and partymen. Of course, one has to repay the debt. I definitely know the one given in the Churumuri doesn’t belong to that category. Preaching is one……
Any one want to take a guess on when the first mass divorce ceremony will be held? I feel some enterprising lawyer will organise this within 5-7 yrs. HC,SC might even do this due to the overload of divorce cases, probably caused by such mass marriage ceremonies :)
This is fascinating!
Karihaida:
Good idea. Could be a good business venture..
Karihaida, “mass” of such ventures don’t make money. So mass divorces will earn the lawyer very little money. Divorcees will want mass discounts! ;)
Karihaida,
I’m not sure what to make of your statement. On first thought, I want to say you are pretty dumb. And you are followed by another guy who thinks what you say is a good idea. Try to appreciate the essence of the picture man!.
sir u r great god is always with u sir
