Multiple high-profile venues in Udaipur are part of the celebrations: The Leela Palace, Zenana Mahal, and the island palace on Lake Pichola.
The functions1 are over several days (started around November 21, and main ceremony on November 23).
Very high-profile guest list: Donald Trump Jr., Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber are being reported.
Bollywood celebrities appear too: Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, and more have been mentioned.
Performances: Cirque du Soleil, big DJ acts, and Bollywood performances.
Decor: There are viral videos showing stunning floral decor, palatial setup, antique chairs, chandeliers, a very “royal / fairytale” wedding vibe.
Emotional moment: A father-daughter dance (Netra and her dad) has been shared, showing a personal side amid the glamour.
Interpretation / Analysis
Symbol of Status & Cross-Cultural Influence: This wedding is not just a personal / family event — it’s very much a social spectacle. The choice of Udaipur (a highly traditional and royal Indian destination) plus international stars signals both wealth and a blending of Indian roots with global influence.
Business Legacy: Rama Raju Mantena (Netra’s father) is clearly very successful in pharma, and this wedding amplifies his social capital. It’s also possibly a way of publicly cementing his status among both Indian elite circles and global business networks.
Next-Generation Entrepreneurs: Netra marrying a tech entrepreneur (Vamsi) suggests a continuity of success in the next generation, but in a different domain (not pharma, but food-tech / AI).
Real Story vs Glamour: While much of what is being reported is about glam and celebrities, at its core, this is a prominent business family’s wedding. The personal / emotional moments (like the dance) are also being shared, but the narrative is dominated by scale, power, and visibility.
