The opulent affair will be held at the Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai’s business district. To accommodate the high-profile event, roads near the venue will be reserved exclusively for ‘event vehicles’ from 1 pm to midnight from July 12 to 15. The Mumbai traffic police have issued advisory outlining road restrictions during these days.
The main wedding ceremony will take place on Friday, July 12, followed by a day for blessings (Shubh Aashirwad) and a grand reception over the next two days. Traffic has already slowed around the venue, which is being decked up with decorative lights and red flowers. Marigolds and bright yellow lights are also being used to beautify the trees outside Ambani’s 27-storey mansion, Antilia.

Celebrations kicked off in Jamnagar, followed by a four-day luxury cruise in Europe, and a series of high-profile events in Mumbai over the past two weeks.
