Around 20,000 weddings are scheduled in Krishna district this month and officials are strictly monitoring the process of granting permissions for the ceremonies.

The wedding season means big business for textile and cloth stores, photographers, jewellers and bands. But the second wave had dealt a blow to those dependent on the ceremonies.

Now, shopping malls and cloth stores on Besant Road and MG Road witnessed brisk sales after three months.

Textile traders hit by the curfew said the wedding season has come as a relief. “We have completely lost our business in May. Though we opened shops in the morning no buyer came forward to the shops.

But matters improved in the last five days. Sales have seen a boost with the wedding season,” said M Raghunath, owner of a retail readymade garments store on Besant Road.

Meanwhile, some agencies in the city are offering wedding packages for a limited number of guests. These include a pandit, traditional music with three artists, a photographer, decoration, and lunch for guests. “We usually plan weddings with thousands of guests. But we are just planning weddings with 20 guests to continue our livelihood,” said PKTS Pawan Kumar, a wedding planner in the city.
