Rakhi Verma, one of the brides who found her soulmate at the ceremony, said that such mass marriages is important for people who can not bear the cost of other social rituals.
"In today's time, such mass marriages play an important role, especially for parents who can not bear the cost of hotel taxes, dowries and other things. We want all parents to come here and get their sons and daughters married here," said Verma.
The trust also distributed free tools, cabinets, carpets and other apparel for married couples.

Mass marriages are very popular, especially among the economically backward sections of Indian society, which helps to reduce concerns about economic impact among parents or guardians of the bride.
