Kerala village decks up for Tharoor marriage
PALAKKAD: A sleepy Kerala village will come alive on Sunday as the much-hyped wedding of Shashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar will be held in traditional Nair style at his maternal village Elvanchery, 30km from Palakkad in Kerala.
The 200-year-old ancestral home will be the marriage venue where a colourful shamiana has been put up.
The wedding would be solemnized on Sunday morning with the couple dressed up in traditional Kerala clothes. Tharoor, who reached the nearby town of Kollengode in the evening, visted his 92-year-old grandmother Jayasankari and sought her blessings.
His accommodation was arranged at Kalari Kovilakom, the former palace of the king of Kollangode, and rooms were booked for Pushkar and her family too but the two changed plans.
