A wedding held in Nashik city is being widely talked about. A wedding is an important and joyous occasion in anyone's life, and on such occasions hundreds and thousands of hands are raised in good wishes and blessings. But this Nashik wedding was different from others, because the ceremony was organised on the initiative of Omkar Pawar, chief executive officer of the Nashik Zilla Parishad. Ministers were also present to hold the antarpat and to sing the mangalashtaka.

A mass wedding of five single women of the city was held with great fanfare in the main building of the Zilla Parishad. Minister Narhari Zirwal himself sang the mangalashtaka. Minister Dada Bhuse and officials were among those who held the antarpat. At the ceremony, special guests also handed the women cheques to buy household items.

Political figures were also present at the wedding as baratis. Besides Ministers Dada Bhuse and Narhari Zirwal, MP Bhaskar Bhagare, MLA Hiraman Khoskar and Shiv Sena deputy leader Ajay Boraste attended. All of them joined in the festive mood as members of the groom's party.

They also danced at the wedding, and Zirwal's dancing is drawing praise. Along with Zirwal, Minister Dada Bhuse, MLA Hiraman Khoskar, District Collector Ayush Prasad, Zilla Parishad Chief Executive Officer Omkar Pawar and government officials also danced to the beat of a traditional instrument. The ministers and officials danced to the sambhal, which is why the wedding is the talk of the town.

After the decision taken by the state government on single women, the Nashik Zilla Parishad tried to bring these women back into the mainstream. In a joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere, five women made a fresh start in life.

The mass wedding was held on the occasion of the 200th birth anniversary of Mahatma Phule. The aim was that single women should receive respect in society and gain in self-confidence. The whole event was organised with this thinking.
