The celebrations, infused with rich traditions, took place at the couple’s chic London abode.
Taking to Instagram, Priyanka shared captivating snapshots of the Laxmi Puja ceremony, a traditional religious observance performed in reverence to the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity. Dressed in a stunning floral printed saree that elegantly captured her essence as the quintessential ‘desigirl’, Priyanka radiated poise and warmth.
