KOTA: A 26-year-old science graduate interior designer bride drove a decorated tractor for over a kilometre to reach her Mahila Sangeet venue on Jhalawar Road in Kota on Tuesday. Wearing a silk dhoti, half-sleeved kurta, a jacket along with a saffron turban, she made a grand entry beating the drums, leaving her parents and guests emotional.
The bride, Pooja Lalwani, a resident of Vallabh Nagar in Kota, wanted to challenge age-old traditions to promote feminism and equality on her big day in Gwalior. However, her businessman groom, Rohit, was not up for it. Hence, she decided to make the move during her Sangeet at her native place.
