An 18-year-old bride sits quietly in her husband’s room, adorned in a rich bridal lehenga, the deep reds and golds of the fabric shimmering under the soft glow of the dim lights. The intricate embroidery of her lehenga sparkles with every subtle movement, each thread carefully stitched to symbolize the love and commitment of this new chapter in her life. Her veil, draped delicately over her head, partly conceals her face, yet allows glimpses of her beautifully adorned features—the heavy kajal lining her eyes, and the gentle blush dusting her cheeks.
