Mr Jadhav and Reshma were both attired in traditional Maharashtrian wedding dress and tied onto tough double nylon-fiber ropes with supports.

Then they were slowly eased on to the “marriage venue” in the middle of the valley with a direct 600-foot drop below just before the 1 p.m. marriage ‘muhurat’ (auspicious time).

The wedding ceremony was performed mid-air in the valley between the 3,000-feet tall peaks of Vishalgadh and Panhala, around 15 km from the base village Bhattali

35-year-old professional priest Suraj Dholi joined them mid-air, recited the wedding mantras via cordless microphone and completed all the rituals.

Jaideep tied the “mangalsutra” around Reshma’s neck, and both exchanged garlands, all while hanging in space.

The marriage was declared as solemnized after a few minutes.

The crowds roared their blessings across the valley, clapped and cheered the newly-wedded couple.
