It was 25th November 2020 during corona times when there was a cyclone alert in Chenani. With a lot of caution I somehow figured out a road to brides home in Old Washermanpet where nalangu event was happening. I had promised the brides mom Revathi that I will be sure be available for their wedding. During her engagement I was not available as I had to attend one of my close friends wedding. The whole family was full of fun and energy. It was raining and I decided to shoot some pictures in rain. Here are some of the shots from nalangu followed by wedding after a couple of days. The bride was an environmentalist and made sure even her jewellery was made of flowers. I enjoyed every moment of shootings this wedding.
