Thanks to the important committee members for making the impossible dream come true for the new couples and their parents.

Married under one umbrella of Gurudwara Saheb Ameerpet with the cooperation of Prabhandak Committees of Sikh Gurudwaras in Telangana and Telangana Sikh Society.
Religious Heads from Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib, Nanded; who were specially invited for the occasion blessed the couples.
Brides & Grooms from Different Places
Most of the brides and bridegrooms hailed from Hyderabad, Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Miryalaguda, Medak districts and Maharashtra, Karnataka and other states.
The Prabhandak Committee made all arrangements plus providing free accommodation facilities, Guru-ka-Langar (breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and snacks etc) for last three days.
The most heartening part was that all the Sikh Gurudwaras of Telangana extended wholehearted support for the successful conduct of these marriages. Various Gurudwara Committees, Telangana Sikh Society and individuals presented almost all the required domestic articles to the newly married couples which will help in settling their lives.
People expressed happiness and complimented the Prabhandak Committee of GSA for the tireless service that they provided in solemnizing the marriage of Sikhs who cannot afford luxurious marriages.
