Marriage is the biggest institution in India and it doesn’t apply only to humans and it was evident when over 5,000 people in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambi district attended a “big fat” dog wedding.
The “ceremonial association” of two dogs took place as per Hindu traditions and the attendees danced with full enthusiasm to the tunes of peppy songs. The “groom” Shagun belonged to Basant Tripathy, while the “bride” Shaguniya belonged to Jung Bahadur.
Traditional cuisine was served to the attendees. Jung Bahadur gave a tearful send-off to Shaguniya, who departed with her groom in a car, and wished them a “happy married life”.
