There was confusion at a wedding in central India’s state of Madhya Pradesh when two sisters momentarily swapped grooms due to a power blackout.
According to the Independent, , the mixup of brides occurred when power disappeared during the tradition of wearing a veil.
The mishap at the wedding not only caught national attention after a local media report but also went viral on social media.
Details indicate that Rameshlal Railot, who is the father of the brides, organised the mass wedding on the same day.
The three brides were donned in the same bridal outfits with their faces covered with veils.
Blackout happened at 9 pm As fate would have it, the town was thrown into a blackout at around 9 pm and it happened that two of the sisters ended up sitting with the wrong grooms.
Nikita, who was set to marry a man called Bhola ended up with Ganesh, who was meant to be her sister Karishma’s.
Interestingly, the two brides ended up performing several pre-wedding rituals with the wrong partners before the power came back and the mistake was noticed.
Wedding continued when power came back Railot’s elder brother Sitaram explained that one bride’s hand was given to the wrong groom in the darkness.
“They did not exchange garlands or wedding vows, but the mixup happened for one of the rituals,” he said
