Jaipur man beats Ambanis! Creates ₹25 lakh wedding card for daughter

Lavish wedding invitations are nothing new for India’s elite. Anant Ambani’s wedding card, reportedly priced between ₹6-7 lakh per invite, set new benchmarks with gold, silver, and temple-inspired artistry. Yet, even that grandeur has been eclipsed, by a father’s devotion in Jaipur.

A Silver Masterpiece Beyond Comparison

Jaipur-based Shiv Johri has crafted an extraordinary wedding invitation for his daughter Shruti Johri, valued at nearly ₹25 lakh. The card is made entirely from 3 kilograms of pure silver, assembled using 128 individual pieces, astonishingly without a single nail or screw.

Divine Detailing in Every Inch

Measuring 8 x 6.5 inches with a depth of 3 inches, the invitation resembles a sacred artefact rather than a card. It features 65 finely carved deities, crowned by Lord Ganesha with the inscription "Shri Ganeshaya Namah."

Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva flank him, while Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu sit below in divine symmetry. The artwork extends to scenes from Lord Krishna’s life, the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu, and a South Indian-style depiction of Krishna with five torsos, surrounded by eight cows. The outer layer celebrates eight forms of Goddess Lakshmi, accompanied by her attendants and the Sun God.

Gods, Goddesses, and Symbolism Galore

Lord Venkateswara (Tirupati Balaji) appears in two distinct forms. The card also showcases charioteers with fly-whisks, goddesses holding lamps, and celestial beings playing conch shells and drums, turning the wedding card into a spiritual narrative.

A Father’s Vision Etched in Silver

"I made this card myself over the course of a year. I wanted my daughter's wedding to invite not just relatives, but all the gods and goddesses as well. I wanted to give my child something that would stay with her for generations, something future generations would see and remember," he said.

"After six months of thinking, we decided that we should create this special thing, and I worked on it for one year to make it ready," he added.

Personal Touches Amidst Divine Grandeur

Among the deities, the names of the bride Shruti Johri and groom Harsh Soni are engraved, with elephants showering flowers around them. Inside, the invitation follows a traditional format, bearing the names of both families, ensuring that devotion and personal legacy coexist in silver splendour.
