Bengaluru: To help poor Hindu families who cannot afford the increasing cost of wedding expenses, the State Cabinet has launched ‘Taali Bhagya’. It is a sequel to former Chief Minister Siddharamaiah’s ‘Shaadi Bhagya’, a flagship scheme for minorities.
Muzrai Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari said mass marriages will be held on auspicious days of April 26 and May 24 next year (2020) at select temples that fall under the Muzrai Department. Temples would spend Rs. 55,000 per couple, which includes an eight gram gold taali (mangalsutra) worth Rs 40,000.
