In Pictures: Esha Deol remarries husband at Iskcon

Esha Deol has got remarried with Bharat Takhtani at ISKCON Juhu, Mumbai.

Well this is only as per the rituals of the Sindhi ceremony of Godh Bharai or Baby Shower, a yet another diverse way in the world, of celebrating the universals joys of motherhood. Cultures across the world celebrate birth in unique ways, and the Sindhi way of celebrating it, is indeed unique! Takhtani is a Sindhi and Deol celebrated it first following her husband family rituals.

Takhtani and Deol were dressed in their wedding finery and took three pheras around the sacred fire. Jaya Bachchan, Rashmi Thackeray, Dimple Kapadia too graced the auspicious ceremony.

Designer Neeta Lulla designed special outfits for the occasion, as being a Sindhi herself understood all the rituals involved. (Incidentally she had also designed Esha Deol’s costumes for her debut film and her wedding too!)

The Godh Bharai ritual was done with the Panditji invoking the prayers for the well being of the child and mother, followed by the family members applying oil & Kumkum on the forehead of the pregnant mother & her husband Bharat Takhtani. The mom-to-be was showered with blessing as the arrival of the baby is considered sacred and auspicious.
