At times when Indian families and couples are opting for quiet, intimate, and simple weddings, a Jaipur man is turning heads by designing a Rs 25 lakh-worth wedding card for his daughter. Shiv Johri designed a box-style wedding card entirely of silver, weighing nearly three kilograms.

Created for the wedding of Johri’s daughter Shruti Johri to Harsh Soni, the invitation card has been assembled without using any nails or screw, according to an NDTV report. The family said the structure comprises 128 individual silver pieces, all precisely fitted together through meticulous craftsmanship.

The report added that the invitation measures roughly 8 inches by 6.5 inches, with a depth of about 3 inches, and is richly engraved with religious motifs. At the top is an image of Lord Ganesha with the inscription “Shri Ganeshaya Namah”.

Several mythological scenes and figures are illustrated on the invitation, including Ram Darbar, Lord Shiva’s wedding, Radha and Krishna, the gates of the Tirupati temple, and Lord Vishnu reclining on Sheshnag. Episodes from Lord Krishna’s childhood and early life are also depicted. At the centre is a South Indian-style image of Lord Krishna shown with one face and five bodies, encircled by eight cows.

The bride and groom’s names are engraved at the centre, surrounded by elephants scattering flowers. Inside the box, the names of both families, including parents and extended relatives, are engraved in a format resembling a traditional printed wedding card.

“I made this card myself over the course of a year. I wanted my daughter’s wedding to invite not just relatives, but all the gods and goddesses as well. I wanted to give my child something that would stay with her for generations—something future generations would see and remember,” NDTV quoted Johri.

“After six months of thinking, we decided that we should create this special thing, and I worked on it for one year to make it ready,” Johri added.
