Chennai Is Showering In Love, Couple Walks To Temple To Get Married In Waterlogged Roads

Chennai has seen extremely heavy rain, flooding the entire city. According to the Indian Meteorological Department, rain is expected to persist through Sunday (IMD). Several weddings at the Anjineyar temple were postponed in the midst of this due to the city's ongoing flooding. However, a few couples who had planned their nuptials months in advance still made it to the temple to exchange vows.

The news agency ANI posted a video that showed how the couples' marriages were significantly affected by the rain. The bride and groom who arrived at the temple were shown in the video walking though a water-logged road.

On the flooded road in Chennai's Pulianthope neighbourhood, they strolled hand in hand while covered by an umbrella. Five weddings that were planned to take place in the temple, according to the agency, were postponed, and the couples who did arrive there were thoroughly saturated.

"Following today's rain, five weddings slated to take place at Pulianthope's Anjineyar temple were postponed. Couples waiting to get married were wet as they made their way through the water-logged interior of the temple. These nuptials were planned months in advance," the agency stated.

One of the grooms who braved the intense rain to get married urged the administration to take prompt action to drain the water that had gathered inside the temple grounds. The groom pleaded with the government to at least clear the temple grounds and other public spaces since "temple is saturated and we have gotten wet."
