51 Couples Unite In A Grand Mass Wedding Ceremony For The Disabled And Economically Weaker Daily Udaipur

Udaipur, March 16: The Narayan Seva Sansthan, a leading organization in the field of empowering the disabled and promoting social harmony, successfully hosted its 45th mass wedding ceremony for the disabled and economically weaker individuals at Seva Mahatirth in Lion Ka Guda. This two-day event concluded with a powerful message of national unity, equal opportunities, and human compassion.

During the grand ceremony, 51 couples from various states across the country embarked on a new journey of marital life, taking vows in the presence of sacred fire and Vedic chants.

The couples included individuals facing various disabilities—some with mobility impairments, others visually impaired, and some requiring assistance to walk. These couples, who have navigated life’s challenges, now stand together as pillars of strength for one another, moving towards a brighter future.

Notably, many of the couples received free corrective surgeries, prosthetics, calipers, and rehabilitation services from the organization. They also took steps towards self-sufficiency through training in sewing, mobile repair, computer skills, and more. Their search for life partners was also facilitated by the organization.

Among the 51 couples, 25 were disabled, while 26 belonged to economically weaker sections.

Their introduction at an event and communication via mobile led them to the sacred wedding ceremony.
