Muralidhar & Charlotte's story
Celebrate Our Wedding in Hampi! Hello and welcome to India Weds London—our wedding in the amazing UNESCO heritage area of Hampi! I’m Lottie, a writer and filmmaker from the UK. I first came to Hampi to volunteer on a film project Murali was directing. India had always felt like a second home, but meeting Murali made it even more special. Over time, our connection deepened, and now, two and a half years later, we’re getting married. Murali comes from an amazingly warm, welcoming Telugu family that has been running a guesthouse business here for over thirty years. We are opening our doors to share this special moment with travelers seeking a genuine culture exchange. Our traditional South Indian wedding will be a family affair—full of rituals, music, amazing food, and a true sense of community. If you’d like to be part of this unique experience, reach out—we’d love to celebrate with you!
