The groom was dressed in a white sherwani while Padmini wore a Rajput dress and was adorned with traditional jewellery.
One of the three elephants that were part of the wedding procession was decked up in silver and gold ornaments.
"The jewellery we used on the elephant was over 250 years old and was brought from Kanota Library and Museum Trust. Initially all elephant owners in Jaipur said no to us as they thought the jewellery was very heavy, but finally an elephant owner agreed," said Singh.
Sources said around 125 of the 300 guests from the groom's side had come from Pakistan.
Matrimonial alliances between the Rajupt families of Umerkot and Rajasthan are not new as a few marriages have taken place in the past we well.
