“Image from the wedding of Nirmala Seetharaman’s daughter, where the bride is seen sitting on a man’s lap while the bridegroom is tying her knot”
What FACTLY found
The viral image does not show the wedding ceremony of Nirmala Seetharaman’s daughter. The couple in the image are Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna and his wife Rachana. Moreover, person on whose lap Rachana is seated is not a priest, but her father. This image captures a moment from the traditional Tamil Brahmin wedding ritual known as Kanyadaan, where the bride is symbolically seated on her father’s lap while the bridegroom proceeds to tie the knot
