Bihar politician's daughter wedding festivities begin November 20

Shivangi Singh, daughter of Bihar politician Anant Singh, will exchange vows with Rishikesh Kumar on November 25, 2026, in Bihta block of Patna district, according to wedding invitations that have begun circulating.

The matrimonial festivities will commence five days earlier on November 20, marking the official start of pre-wedding rituals. The celebration will follow traditional Hindu wedding customs, beginning with the tilak ceremony, which formally marks the engagement.

Subsequent events will include the haldi and mehendi ceremonies, where female relatives and friends traditionally apply turmeric paste and henna on the bride. A musical evening, known as sangeet, will follow these rituals, providing entertainment and celebration with family members.

The main wedding day on November 25 will conclude with the saptapadi or saat phere—the seven ceremonial circles around the sacred fire that constitute the central ritual of Hindu marriages. The extended schedule reflects the customary practice in Bihar of stretching wedding celebrations across multiple days.
