A groom in Pakistan’s Bhakkar region received an extraordinary 35-foot garland from his brother, prepared using approximately 2,000 currency notes totalling PKR 1 lakh (approximately Rs 30,000), according to The Daily Guardian.
The distinctive wedding accessory, created in the Kotla Jam area of Punjab, Pakistan, incorporated 200 notes of PKR 75 and 1,700 notes of PKR 50. The unusual gift gained attention after footage of it circulated on social media, showing several attendees carrying the substantial garland at the wedding venue.
The elaborate creation featured a combination of currency notes, fresh flowers and decorative ribbons. The footage captured the moment when two individuals carefully draped the substantial garland around the groom’s neck, followed by a photography session.
The footage, which was widely shared across X and Instagram, generated diverse responses from viewers.
