About the hosts
omkar & Swarnima's story
Our journey began ten years ago, in the corridors of our college — two young dreamers brought together by chance, and later, by choice. What started with casual hellos and shared projects soon blossomed into something much deeper: a friendship that quietly turned into love.
Omkar, rooted in his Maratha heritage, and I, raised in a Buddhist home, came from different worlds. But instead of dividing us, our cultures brought us closer — adding richness and meaning to our bond. We celebrated each other’s traditions, values, and dreams, building a relationship on love, respect, and endless laughter.
In a ceremony that honors both Maratha and Buddhist traditions, we will come together, surrounded by our families, friends, and all those who made our journey so special.
Followed by a celebration of love, unity, and the beautiful life we are about to build.
After all these years, we are not just getting married — we are choosing each other, again and forever.

Buddhist Wedding
n our Buddhist wedding, under the guidance of a Bhante, we will take part in a serene vidhi, where sacred chants will fill the air, and prayers will be offered before Lord Buddha. As the verses echo around us, we will vow to walk together with compassion, wisdom, and respect — building a life rooted in peace and understanding. It is a simple, soulful ceremony, yet it carries the deepest meaning for our journey ahead.
Maratha Wedding
In our Maratha wedding, we will celebrate vibrant traditions filled with joy and sacred rituals. The ceremony begins with the Muhurta (auspicious time), where a silk cloth (Antarpat) separates us until the sacred moment arrives. As the cloth is lowered and we exchange garlands, family blessings and Vedic chants will surround us. We will then take the Saptapadi — seven steps together around the sacred fire — promising love, strength, and lifelong partnership. It is a colorful, spirited ceremony that reflects the pride and warmth of our roots.
Reception
After the wedding rituals, we will celebrate with a reception where all our loved ones — family, friends, and well-wishers — will come together to bless us as we begin this new chapter. It will be a joyful evening filled with laughter, conversations, and countless photographs to capture these memories forever. Every smile, every hug, and every blessing will become a part of the beautiful story we are building together.
