Kodlipet Vidya Samsthe, Halasinamarada Gauramma, Sri Shanthamallappa PU College and Kodlipet Janapara Vedike will organise a free mass marriage programme on December 12, said Vidya Samsthe president and advocate H S Chandramouli.
The pandemic has devastated several families who are in financial distress. Several marriages had been postponed. Hence, a mass marriage is being organised, he told reporters.
The last date to submit applications for the same is November 20. The bride and groom will be given dhoti, peta, saree, a blouse piece and a golden taali.
The programme will be held in the presence of Suthur Mutt seer Shivarathri Deshikendra Swami, Siddaganga Mutt seer Siddalinga Mahaswami and Adichunchanagiri Mutt seer Nirmalanandanatha Swami.
