New Delhi: Many parts of the country have been experiencing severe heat waves. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is warning of challenging days ahead as temperatures in Northwest India reach record highs. However, this hasn’t stopped Indians from marrying. A video of a wedding ceremony traveling under the shadow of a pandal is going viral on social media.
Friends and family of the groom are even dancing to the drum beats while he sits atop a horse. Devyani Kohli, a Twitter user, tweeted the video with the caption: “This is why #India is called the home of innovation or simply. Indians have devised a ‘Jugaad’ strategy to combat the #Heatwave during ‘Baraat.'” She has not revealed the location of the video shoot.
A Twitter user named Devyani Kohli shared the video with the caption: “This is why India is known as the “Land of Innovation” or just “India.” To counteract the #Heatwave during ‘Baraat,’ Indians invented a ‘Jugaad’ technique.” She hasn’t announced where the video shoot will take place.
Since it was posted on Wednesday, the video has been viewed over 18,000 times.

Several Twitter users have expressed their admiration for the “jugaad” employed to dismantle the bridal procession.
“That implies anything happens, don’t get off the road,” one user explained. “We are the Jugaad kings,” said another.
Others, on the other hand, emphasised the dangers of disrupting a march in broad daylight. “Very dangerous because they are prone to electrocution from cables,” one Twitter user said.
Similar films were also shared by several users, showing people making plans to protect themselves from the high heat. One of the films depicted a wedding procession with four pandals providing shade for guests attending the event.
Heatwave-like situations pushed temperatures to record highs in places like Rajasthan, with Dholpur topping the list with 46.6 degrees Celsius on Thursday. In fact, the temperature has risen above 45 degrees in some locations.
The temperature at Gurugram (in Delhi-NCR) reached 45.6 degrees Celsius, breaking the previous record of 44.8 degrees Celsius set on April 28, 1979. On Thursday, Delhi saw its hottest April day in 12 years, with a temperature of 43.5 degrees Celsius. On April 18, 2010, the national capital reached a maximum temperature of 43.7 degrees Celsius.
The wave will last for the next five days in the northwest and central India, and three days in east India, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
