Isha Ambani made waves with her stunning outfits during her baby brother Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding festivities. From playing around with pretty Manish Malhotra lehengas to showing her glam in Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s custom outfits, Isha won hearts with her impeccable fashion choices. However, no wedding festivity can ever be complete without Isha donning a Sabyasachi (Mukherjee) ensemble.

For the reception ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, Isha Ambani wore a magnificent lehenga by Sabyasachi that was totally breathtaking! The pristine white lehenga featured a gorgeous skirt adorned with big 3D flowers, exuding an aura of elegance and sophistication. She styled it with a V-neck blouse, intricately covered in delicate lacework, completing the ensemble with a touch of classic charm.
What made this outfit particularly special was its inspiration. According to the designer, the ensemble drew from J.G. Ballard’s The Garden of Time, a poignant tale of love, loss, and the ephemeral nature of beauty and time. The significance of this inspiration cannot be overstated, as it adds a layer of depth and narrative to the outfit. The story’s ethereal garden, where flowers bloom momentarily before withering away, parallels the transient yet unforgettable moments of a wedding celebration.

Popular Instagram page, Diet Sabya quoted Isha Ambani’s stylist, Anaita Shroff Adajania, as saying, “Isha at her radiant best, we created this first-of-its-kind couture ensemble, paying homage to Indian craft with the maestro Sabya.” This statement highlights the careful thought and craftsmanship that went into creating this masterpiece. The lehenga’s 3D flowers symbolize the fleeting yet precious moments of life, much like the flowers in Ballard’s garden, which bloom to their fullest before disappearing.
By choosing this outfit, Isha Ambani not only showcased her exquisite taste in fashion but also paid tribute to a literary masterpiece. The ensemble serves as a reminder of the beauty that exists in the moment and the artistry that goes into preserving these moments in memory. Sabyasachi’s creation is more than just a stunning outfit; it is a piece of art that tells a story, celebrates Indian craftsmanship, and honors the timeless tale of The Garden of Time.
Isha Ambani’s choice to wear a Sabyasachi lehenga for such an important occasion underscores her appreciation for deep, meaningful fashion narratives. It sets a benchmark for bridal and festive wear, blending traditional Indian elements with a modern, literary-inspired twist. The reception ceremony was not just a celebration of love and union, but also a showcase of how fashion can encapsulate stories and emotions, making every moment unforgettable.

Anant-Radhika’s wedding: What is Nita Ambani holding in her…

Finally, D-day is here when India’s richest person, Mukesh Ambani and his wife Nita’s youngest son-Anant Ambani is marrying Radhika Merchant. While the wedding festivities have begun, one can’t miss but notice that Nita Ambani is holding a picture of a Hindu deity in her hand. But what is it and why is Nita Ambani holding? Read on to learn more about this Gujarati wedding tradition.
Raman divo: A Gujarati wedding tradition

At Anant and Radhika’s wedding, Nita Ambani can be seen holding a ‘Raman divo’ as per Gujarati wedding traditions. ‘Raman divo’ consists of Ganesh ji’s figure (in the form of a picture or idol) and oil lamp (or diya). As per Gujarati traditions, the mother of the groom holds a ‘Raman divo’ as it is considered to be auspicious and it also wards off the evil eye (nazar). Generally, a Raman divo is made of brass, but considering the opulence of the Ambani wedding, Nita ji is seen carrying a golden Raman divo– which is quite rare and unusual!
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Nita Ambani was seen carrying the Raman divo. At her elder son Akash’s wedding too, Nita Ambani was seen following this Gujarati wedding tradition.
Isha Ambani holding ‘Lun’ bell at her brother’s wedding

Earlier at Akash Ambani’s wedding, the sister of the groom Isha Ambani Piramal was seen holding the ‘Lun’ bell, as per Gujarati wedding tradition. A ‘Lun’ bell is made up of a small katori or kalash which is filled with coins, and its mouth is tightly tied with a cloth. This is then used as a small bell or ghanti, which the sister of the groom rings during the wedding rituals. The reason being: in the olden days, the grooms used to be quite young and their weddings would generally happen at night. So to keep them awake through the wedding night, the sister of the groom used to ring the Lun bell. This is also considered auspicious as it is believed to keep the groom safe and protected from nazar or the evil eye.
And so, we are sure to see Isha Ambani Piramal following the Gujarati traditions and ringing the ‘Lun’ bell for her younger brother Anant as well for his wedding.
Anant-Radhika’s love story
For the unversed, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant have known each other for roughly six years now. The couple had a traditional ‘roka’ ceremony at Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, Rajasthan on December 30, 2022. This was followed by a formal engagement or Gol Dhana ceremony which was held at the Ambani house Antilia in Mumbai in 2023. Earlier in 2024, the Ambanis hosted two lavish pre-wedding parties for Anant and Radhika– first in Jamnagar, Gujarat which was followed by a cruise party in Europe.
Their pre-wedding festivities began roughly 10 days ago, and on July 12 Anant and Radhika are finally getting married.
