Anand Dhamecha, Grandson of Khodidasbhai and Lalitaben and son of Veenaben and Pradipbhai Dhamecha of Dhamecha Group, got engaged to Sajni, daughter of Nutanben and Sanjaybhai Thakrar on Saturday 5 March.
As part of traditional Lohana rituals, Sajni was adorned with many precious gifts as well as with a traditional Chundadi by the Dhamecha family to ratify that the bride is welcomed by the groom’s family.
82-year-old Niruben Bhatt from Hendon recited Sanskrit verses and explained the meaning of the traditional ritual of "Sava Panch Aana and Chundadi" in English and Gujarati, followed by the entire Dhamecha family and the Thakrar family members wishing and congratulating each other. The joyful music band, playing in the background, made the moment even more memorable.
Pradipbhai Dhamecha remembered his respected father Khodidasbhai and thanked Shantikaka one of the much-adored family members, for gracing the occasion despite poor health.
J. J. Shri Vrajkumarji Mahodayshri, who specially flew in from Vadodara at the request of Anand and Pradipbhai Dhamecha, praised Khodidasbhai, Laduma, Lalitaba and the Dhamecha dynasty. His life lessons and advice for a successful married life as well as the union of the two great families were met with applauds and a standing ovation from the audience.
