Narayan Seva Sansthan's 43rd Free Mass Wedding to Remove Incompleteness of Disability
Shabnam Bano
Udaipur: For nearly two decades, Narayan Seva Sansthan has been working tirelessly to fulfill the dreams of marriage for disabled individuals. Prashant Agarwal, the president of the institute, shared that the first mass wedding of disabled and underprivileged individuals of 2025 will be held on February 8th and 9th at Seva Mahateerth. A total of 28 couples are from various disabilities, while 23 are from economically weaker sections. He mentioned that the life stories of these couples are deeply emotional and inspirational. The vibrancy and zest for life in these couples will inspire normal, able-bodied people to forget their mental stress, depression, and challenges, and move towards a positive life path.
On the first day of the wedding, a Ganesh installation ceremony will take place in the morning, followed by the haldi and mehendi rituals and a welcoming ceremony for religious parents. In the evening, a traditional dance and women's music program will be held with the venue lit by milk-white lights.

**From WhatsApp Friendship to Wedding Vows**
Dharmdas Pal (35), a resident of Pathari Pethpura village, Tikamgarh district (Madhya Pradesh), was born with a disability in both hands, but he did not let any challenges hinder his dreams. He completed his schooling up to the 12th grade and now works as a computer operator and in a printing press while living with his parents and five siblings. His life took a turn when he learned about the institute’s free welfare projects through television.
On the other hand, Reshma Parmar (32) from Shampura Pannala village, Dhar district (Madhya Pradesh), overcame her struggles with her courage. Due to polio at the age of one, she lost function below her waist but still manages to walk using her hands on the ground. Despite her physical challenges, she efficiently does all the household chores and lives independently.
Dharmdas and Reshma met through a WhatsApp group created for disabled individuals. Over time, their conversations deepened, leading to mutual understanding and closeness. Six months ago, with family consent, their engagement was formalized. However, due to financial constraints in both families, the marriage was not possible. With the institute’s support, Dharmdas and Reshma will now begin their married life at the free mass wedding.
**A Small Meeting, A Journey of a Lifetime**
A road accident injury caused Somnath Dhritlare (28) from Vaygaon, Chhattisgarh, to lose function in his left hand. After a motorcycle accident in 2018, infection led to the amputation of his left hand. His father, Nandkumar, works as a laborer to support the family. Somnath learned about the institute through social media and came to Udaipur, where he received a prosthetic hand. In 2023, he completed a free mobile repair training program and became self-reliant, running his own mobile repair shop in his village and providing financial support to his family.
One year ago, during a “Divyang March” organized in Chhattisgarh, Somnath met Rakhi from Sendri Jaijaypur, who was also born with disabilities in both feet and the right eye. After a successful surgery at the institute in 2014, Rakhi was able to walk comfortably with the help of calipers. The two’s marriage will now take place as part of the 43rd Free Mass Wedding at the institute, which they consider a lucky coincidence.
**Kacharulal’s Cane Becomes Kaly Kumari’s Strength**
Kacharulal (29), a tribal from Banswara, Rajasthan, was born with polio and is unable to walk without a cane. On the other hand, Kaly Kumari (25) from Padra-Badana village comes from a poor family, where her father Shankar Lal struggles to support five siblings through farming and daily wage labor. Kacharulal assists his family with farming, and despite their engagement a year ago, their marriage was delayed due to disability and poverty. With the help of the institute, Kacharulal and Kaly Kumari will now marry on February 9th as part of the mass wedding.
