Several pictures and videos from the pre-wedding festivity were shared on social media, that saw a giant shiva Jyotirlinga statue placed inside. Amit Trivedi was seen performing his hit track ‘Namo Namo’ at the venue, as Mukesh Ambani and Anant Ambani joined in doing the Shiv Shakti puja in front of the guests and the rest of the family.

The haldi ceremony took place a day after the haldi ceremony, which saw a lot of Bollywood stars drenched in haldi (turmeric). Several stars were also present at the mehendi ceremony, which included Janhvi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Sanjay Dutt and Ranveer Singh. Apart from Amit Trivedi, Kailash Kher also performed at the event. The Ambanis also organised a bhandara alongside the mehendi ceremony.
On July 3, the Ambanis organised a Mameru ceremony, which is a Gujarati wedding tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) of the bride visits her with sweets and gifts. They held numerous pre-wedding events this year, with a star-studded bash in Jamnagar followed by a luxurious cruise ride in Italy.
