The wedding culminated in a very large reception at a beautiful hotel called the Ashok. I was told that this "conference center ballroom" was the largest in the city and necessary to accommodate the over 700 people expected. When we arrived, Rahul and Neha were standing on the stage surrounded by the Jetley family. The saris worn by the women in the family were breath-taking. There were many more people dressed in western attire at this event than any of the others.
I have been asked a few questions about the food, and to be honest, I can't believe I forgot to write about it. The food was delicious and so plentiful -- and for a vegetarian -- i can say close to paradise. There were no shortage of passed hors d'oeuvres during the first 2 hours of each event, and then we were led to chaffing dishes which lined the perimeters of the events venue. Cuisine from at least 4 areas of India were served, vegetarian and non-veg (as they say), Asian, and continental -- all available and plentiful. Of course the 6 or 7 varieties of Indian bread were impossible to resist.
