As soon as the first pictures of the wedding appeared on social media, the internet was flooded with congratulations and everyone was discussing the details of this unique wedding. This marriage of Anirudh and Kavya was different from the traditional customs in many ways and was very special. Usually in South Indian weddings, Vedic mantras are chanted for hours and rituals are performed in the presence of priests, but this couple conducted their wedding in a very simple and modern style. Neither any Pandit was present at their wedding nor Sanskrit mantras were chanted, yet a glimpse of Indian culture and family values was clearly visible, which won everyone's heart. The traditional Mangalsutra ceremony performed without a pandit, Anirudh's mother's special saree also made headlines. According to the report of English daily 'The Times of India', many such unique things were seen in this wedding ceremony held in Greece, which attracted the attention of the guests and fans. Even though no priest or pandit recited the mantras in this marriage, the ceremony of 'Mangalsutra' (thali), the most sacred symbol of South Indian tradition, was performed with full respect and emotion. During this special moment, Anirudh Ravichander placed Mangalsutra around Kavya Maran's neck in the presence of her parents and senior family members, after which all the family members present there showered flowers on the newly married couple and blessed them for a happy married life. In this grand ceremony, the traditional dress of the mother of the groom Anirudh also remained the main center of discussion. On the auspicious occasion of her son's wedding, she wore a very special and artistic saree, whose pallu and borders had beautiful and intricate designs of Hindu gods and goddesses engraved on them. Amidst the modern destination wedding, this unique detail of her saree depicting Indian spirituality and art is being liked by the fans on social media. Superstar Rajinikanth and CM MK Stalin attended the wedding, Thalaiva's dance video created a stir. Even though this wedding was organized in Greece, thousands of kilometers away from India, many big personalities of Indian cinema and Tamil Nadu politics registered their presence in it. It is noteworthy that Anirudh is the nephew of superstar Rajinikanth, hence Thalaivaa Rajinikanth along with his wife Lata Rajinikanth and daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth along with the entire family came to enhance the splendor of this wedding. Due to Kavya Maran's family ties, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin also attended the ceremony with his wife Durga Stalin. Apart from these, many VVIP guests including state Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, his wife Krutiga Udhayanidhi and former Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran wished the newlyweds. The most memorable moment of the ceremony was when superstar Rajinikanth defied his age and added color to the wedding celebration with his spectacular dance.
