A wedding with 400,000 invited guests

Anant Singh, a member of the Bihar state legislative assembly, is preparing the wedding of his daughter Shivangi, to which he plans to invite up to 400,000 people. The celebration is scheduled for November 25, NDTV reports. The bride will marry Rishikesh Kumar.

Preparations in his native village

The wedding will be held in Singh's native village, where preparatory work is already underway. Craftsmen from the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh are erecting tents and a venue for the ceremony: a stage about 30 meters long is being built for the newlyweds, which is to be decorated with 15 tons of ornaments. A separate tent is provided for especially important guests.

Guest list and criminal case

According to Singh himself, invitations will be sent to everyone who wishes to attend — not only from India, but also from Pakistan. Dozens of artists and politicians are expected; an invitation is also promised to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, though it is unknown whether he will come.

The deputy's court obligations

The judicial side of the matter is covered by Gazeta.Ru: in October 2025, the deputy was arrested on suspicion of involvement in a murder, and in March he was released on bail; however, the Supreme Court ordered him to surrender to the authorities by December 1 — that is, a few days after the wedding. Sources do not report how these deadlines relate to the family's plans.
