India women's cricket star Smriti Mandhana's wedding festivities began on Friday with a vibrant Haldi ceremony. The highlight was Mandhana dancing to dhol beats alongside her World Cup-winning teammates, including Shafali Verma, Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Renuka Singh, Shivali Shinde, and Radha Yadav all dressed in bright yellow. Mandhana will marry composer-filmmaker Palash Muchhal on November 23. Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent congratulations, poetically noting that "the grace of Smriti's cover drive meets the lilting musical symphony of Palaash in a wonderful partnership." He blessed the couple, wishing their "hearts, minds and souls be in harmony" as they begin their new life together.
