In a dazzling display of wealth in Qureshipur village, Haryana, a groom garnered attention by draping himself in a meticulously folded garland made entirely of Rs 500 notes that reportedly add up to an astonishing Rs 20 lakh.
The garland, which extends from the ground all the way up to the ceiling where the groom is seen standing, became an instant sensation on Instagram after being shared by dilshadkhan_kureshipur who claimed that it cost Rs 20 lakh. With over 1.5 crore views and 3.19 lakh likes, the viral clip triggered a wave of comments and reactions, even sparking debates.
Opinions varied, with some applauding the groom’s affluence while others questioned the need for such extravaganza. Speculations about the legitimacy of the notes added an air of mystery to the viral sensation.
One netizen humorously wondered, “But how will the groom walk after wearing this?” while another suggested, “We should inform the income tax department.”
While the tradition of using currency-note garlands during weddings indicates prosperity and good luck in certain regions of the country, it has also sparked controversy due to concerns about the disrespect towards currency. Regardless, this groom’s unprecedented choice is sure to be remembered as a truly bizarre wedding moment by those who witnessed it.
