Atlantis Launches Hindu-Style Wedding Ceremonies

By Gay Nagle Myers

Atlantis, Paradise Island introduced a new wedding concept called Pyaar Atlantis, designed for Hindu couples seeking a beachside wedding while still having a traditional ceremony.

Pyaar (the word means love) Atlantis couples work with an expert Indian wedding planner and with executive chef Rajesh Kattria, formerly with Taj Hotels, to customize wedding menus with traditional or Indian ingredients.

Two wedding packages offering Hindu-style ceremonies include a wedding stage for the couple's mandap (covered structure with pillars), a set of thrones, a fire pit and a statue of the Lord Ganesh (the Hindu god of success).
