It’s a special Diwali for Kaustubh Shah, son of the Mukand Ltd co-chairman, who got married earlier this month.

This year, Diwali will sparkle some more at the household of Mukand Ltd co-chairman and MD Rajesh Shah. The festivities began early for the family with son Kaustubh’s wedding to London-based Radha Brahmbhatt earlier this month.

While the newlyweds are enjoying a quiet Diwali with the family in London, guests at the wedding continue to rave about the elegant affair.

The pheras took place in Udaipur on October 14. However, the celebrations were kicked off in Mumbai with a party on October 8. It was hosted by Shah’s siblings, brother Suketu and his wife, Czaee, and sister Amita Chatterjee and her husband, Purnendu.

The wedding ceremony was kept traditional, with the chanting of many mantras lending an air of piety to the proceedings. Vishnu mantras
were chanted as the groom entered the mandap, and Laxmi mantras, as the bride came in, on a boat over the waters of Lake Pichola. The couple exchanged the varmalas against the backdrop of the lake and the accompanying sunset. Later, guests danced away to the beats of jazz music.

The select guest list of 250 included invitees from the US, the UK, Greece, Turkey, France and Germany. Shah and wife, Bansri, ensured
that they were present to personally welcome each invitee. Top names from business and political circles were a part of the festivities. LK Advani, Nitin Gadkari , Piyush Goyal , P Chidambaram and Dushyant Singh Raje were present.

From the business world, Mukesh Ambani, Niraj Bajaj, Baba Kalyani, Sajjan Jindal, Pawan Munjal and Uday Kotak attended the ceremony.

The bridal couple’s friends, including Kaustubh’s school friend, Alexander de Carvalho, heir to the Heineken empire, also joined the party.
