Among those who will exchange wedding vows during the ceremony are 22 Muslim couples, two Christians, 198
dalits besides tribals and non-tirbals, former Maharashtra minister Vijay Wadettiwar, who is hosting the event, told reporters in Nagpur.

Wadettiwar said there are also 28 inter-caste couples, who will receive Rs 50,000 cash from the state government, while those from scheduled caste and tribes will get Rs 10,000 from the government.
