The Gujarat state government is inviting soon-to-be-married couples who despite the pandemic are keen on tying the knot, for a ceremony near the 182-metre (world’s tallest) statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

As per reports, Tent City 1 in the Statue of Unity has been mapped as a destination wedding venue, due to its scenic location with Narmada Dam in its backdrop and a distance of just four kilometres from the statue. The bookings have already opened, so grab your slot before any other couple!
