Swayamvar for Assamese brides, grooms in Delhi
From Our Staff Correspondent
NEW DELHI, June 26 In a unique exercise of its kind, a swayamvar organised as a match-making exercise today came as a boon for prospective Assamese brides and grooms here. At least 35 young brides and grooms registered themselves here at a swayamvar organised jointly by timesmatri.com, Assam Association and Uruli, an Assamese womens organisation, at Delhi Karnataka Sangha.
The event came as boon for young professionals, anxious parents waiting for a match for their ward. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life and stressed out life, the swayamvar presented a perfect opportunity to prospective brides and grooms to size up their life partners without any hang-ups.
On this occasion too, the prospective brides overtook the grooms as they scanned for grooms from among the assembled gathering. The girls were very clear-headed and bold and were sure about what they were looking for in their future husbands, surprising many of us, commented general secretary of Assam Association, Manoj Das.
The event was organised with an aim to offer a unique opportunity to meet prospective brides and grooms and their families under one roof. The participants were required to register themselves with their complete profile at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The profiles of the brides and grooms would be regularly updated, said Das.
The office-bearers of the Assam Association interviewed those who registered themselves. Waiting in the wings were keen-eyed parents looking for a perfect catch.
Earlier, inaugurating the event, Jnanpith laureate, Dr Mamoni Raisom Goswami lauded the initiative suggesting that such events should be organised more often. There is a need to organise such event even in Assam, she said.
