Mallikarjun visited his in-laws in Hyderabad for the first time since his marriage. It was the Sankranti festival and his wife’s parents Kantri and Kalpana wanted to make it special. They lived in Shardanagar close to Saroor Nagar and had married their daughter to Mallikarjun four months earlier. This visit was a chance for everyone to celebrate the new marriage and the festival together.
To welcome him, Mallikarjun’s in-laws cooked a huge meal with 130 different dishes. This is something that’s often done in India where son-in-laws are given extra special treatment. The amount of food shows how important this custom is and how much the family wanted Mallikarjun to feel loved and welcomed during his first visit.
The whole celebration took place at the in-law’s house in Hyderabad. Making such a big meal is a tradition that shows respect and love. The in-laws made a real effort to keep with this tradition making this visit a memorable one for their new son-in-law.
