The "Samu Vivah Sammelan" or group marriage ceremony was organised by a local non-governmental organisation, Help People Foundatireon.

"I think if people follow this kind of trend, there will be no discrimination over caste and creed," Help People Foundation's chairman, Afreen Ritu Rajwat, said in a statement.
