All the gods and goddesses had gathered to witness the marriage of Ashok Sundari and Nahush. Mata Parvati was getting ready her daughter who had grown up to be a elegant and beautiful lady.

Srinav and Kartikeya as elder brothers were making sure everything was perfect from the Mandap to the rangoli to the seats of the guests. There was no room for mistake in their sister's wedding.

Amarsri along with her apsara sakhi Rambha and Menka were distributing sweets to the already arrived guests.

Suddenly she felt someone lightly pulling her avanguntha. She turned around to see her little brother Ganesh.

"Jiji, ek laddoo dijiye na." Ganesh said.

"Sabse pratham tumhe hi diye the Anuj." Amarsri said.

"Do laddoo se mera kya hoga ?" Ganesh said innocently making her chuckle.

"Accha thik hai. Do laddoo aur lelo." Amarsri smiled giving him 2 more laddoos.

"Barat agayi ! Barat agayi !" Nandi announced.

"Jiji ! Chaliye swagat karna hai." Ganesh said.

"Ha chalo." Amarsri smiled keeping the plate of laddoos aside.

They both went to the gates of the bhavan where Maharaj Ayu and his wife Maharani Indumati, came with their son Nahush who looked as resplendent as Indra.

Being the father of the groom, Mahadev welcomed the Barati and put the tilak of chandan and kumkum over the forehead of Nahush. Being greeted by Mahadev, to them it felt like all the punya of this life and past ones were given to them at once.

Being the brothers, Srinav puts the garland of honour around the neck of Nahush, Kartikeya sprinkles his head with scented water and Ganesh presents him with a bouquet of flower.

Being the elder sister, Amarsri does their Aarti to welcome them and asks them to come in. Nahush was extremely overwhelmed by the honour he was getting.

The marriage rituals were being conducted by the great Saptrishi, who had raised and trained Nahush, the one known as Arundhati-Nath, the most excellent among sages, Vashisht.

Soon Mata Parvati was called to perform some ceremonial rituals with Mahadev. And now it was time for the bride to come.

"Kripiya, vadhu ko mandap mei le aaye." Maharishi Vashisht said.

Amarsri, Srinav, Kartikeya and Ganesh stood up and went inside the bhavan to bring Ashok Sundari, seeing her decked up in bridal attire, they were in awe.

"Paramsundari." Amarsri said putting a little tilak of kajal from her eyes to back of Ashok Sundari's neck, to ward off any evil eye.

"Mujhe toh woh din smaran ho rahe hai, jab hum saath mei krida karte the." Srinav said.

"Mujhe Jiji ke saath krida karne ka saubhagya toh prapt nahi huya, kintu inke vivah mei samellit hoke mujhe apaar anand ki prapti huyi hai." Ganesh said.

"Ashok Sundari toh janm se hi sabke anand aur sukh ka karan hai." Kartikeya smiled.

Ashok Sundari smiled and looked down, a little blush adorning her cheeks, while she fiddled with her finger, which wasn't unnoticed by her elder sister.

"Priyevar aur Priye Bhratao, hume ab shigrata karni chahiye. Ashok Sundari se Nahush ke bina raha nahi jaa raha." Amarsri teased.

"Jiji !" Ashok Sundari blushed even more, causing her brothers to chuckle.

Amarsri, Srinav, Kartikeya and Ganesh picked up the blanket of flowers and raised it above the head of Ashok Sundari.

"Chale ?" Srinav asked.

"Ji Jyesht." Ashok Sundari smiled.

They all went outside holding the blanket of flowers above the head of the bride. Nahush, whose eyes were stuck on the door, became breathless seeing the beauty of her soon to be wife.

The wedding rituals began once they exchanged garlands and they sat together. Vashisht Rishi chanted mantras, while the rest of the gods and goddesses showered flowers over the groom and bride.

It was indeed a very delightful wedding which would be fruitful in the future.
