In a refreshing departure from the normal expensive trends of destination weddings, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chose an intimate and personal celebration for her daughter, Parakala Vangamayi, who married in a modest yet memorable home ceremony.
The celebration was held in Bengaluru, and it was warmly attended by cherished family members and close friends, with no political heavyweights present.
The wedding was held in the highest regard for Brahmin traditions, with seers from the prestigious Udupi Adamaru Mutt blessing the union of the bride and groom, Parakala and Prateek.
Prateek showed grace in a traditional white Pancha and shawl, while Parakala looked lovely in a stunning pink saree with a matching green top.
Nirmala Sitharaman, the bride’s mother, graced the occasion in a regal Molakalmuru saree, giving a touch of luxury to the festivities.
The Adamaru Mutt’s holy Vedic rituals were followed during the marriage proceedings, infusing the ceremony with spiritual importance and timeless traditions.

Vangamayi, Nirmala Sitharaman’s daughter, is a brilliant Mint Lounge features writer.
She has a Master’s degree in English from the prestigious University of Delhi, and her thirst for study led her to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, where she earned an MS in Journalism.
Sitharaman warmly shared a flashback photo with Parakala in September 2019, praising her as not only a daughter but also a close friend, philosopher, and advisor.
The two’s emotional friendship is a monument to the enduring love inside their family.
Nirmala Sitharaman’s husband, Parakala Prabhakar, is a renowned political economist who has made important contributions as a communications advisor and held a unique cabinet-rank position in the government of Andhra Pradesh from July 2014 to June 2018.
The wedding was a lovely milestone for the Sitharaman family, when love, tradition, and simplicity took center stage, producing cherished moments that will definitely be remembered for a long time.
