About this listen
Reality check:
Yes, this story is true, though with some typical internet exaggeration about details like cost and guest count. Several news outlets have reported instances in India—especially in Tamil Nadu—where pet owners, especially farmers, have held elaborate, traditional-style wedding ceremonies for their dogs, often inviting hundreds of guests, decking the dogs out in garlands, arranging feasts, hiring priests, and celebrating with music and fireworks. The events are sometimes conducted for reasons of tradition or superstition, believing such ceremonies bring luck or ward off evil.
One widely reported instance in 2017 involved a farmer named Selvakumar in Tamil Nadu, who organized a festive wedding for his dog, Ramu, complete with a canine “bride,” decorations, guests, food, and rituals typical of a human wedding. The precise number of guests or the cost might differ depending on the specific event, but the overall claim—a lavish dog wedding with many guests and traditional ceremonies in Tamil Nadu—is factually based and has been documented in reputable Indian and international news sources.
