Bengaluru, Feb 15 (IANS) Five Russian couples were married here Sunday in the Vedic tradition at the Art of Living (AoL) foundation's international centre here.

It, however, did not provide details of the couples, including their names, religion, occupation and where they live in Russia.

A few hundreds of the foundation's members from countries across Asia, Europe, North America and South America married at the centre here in the ancient Vedic style over the last two decades.
