India is stepping into a season of celebration unlike any other. Between November 1 and December 14, 2025, the country will host a staggering 46 lakh weddings, marking the biggest wedding season in its history. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) estimates that these festivities will generate an unprecedented ₹6.5 lakh crore in business — a figure that captures not only the grandeur of Indian weddings but also their growing role as an economic engine.
Across India, wedding planners, jewelers, designers, caterers, and decorators are preparing for a historic boom. The industry has become a reflection of both cultural pride and economic resilience. From opulent destination weddings to intimate traditional ceremonies, each event contributes to a vast ecosystem that fuels everything from gold demand to employment opportunities.
Delhi, the capital of celebrations, will lead this wave with 4.8 lakh weddings, driving ₹1.8 lakh crore in expenditure. The city’s markets, venues, and services are already buzzing with bookings months in advance — from bridal couture and bespoke jewelry to five-star catering and themed decor.
Breaking down the nationwide spending, jewellery accounts for 15%, followed by apparel and sarees at 10%, catering at 10%, event management at 5%, and other key categories like electronics, sweets, and décor making up the rest. The services sector alone — including photography, travel, music bands, floral décor, and sound & lighting — is expected to see its strongest season in years.
What makes this wedding season especially remarkable is its “Vocal for Local” transformation. Over 70% of wedding-related purchases are expected to come from Indian-made products and services, from handwoven bridal sarees and homegrown jewelry labels to local floral artisans and food vendors. This growing preference for local craftsmanship underscores a cultural shift — one where tradition meets conscious consumerism.
Beyond the shimmer and song, the economic impact runs deep. This 45-day wedding season is projected to create more than 1 crore jobs, including temporary and part-time employment across sectors like hospitality, logistics, and event management. The celebrations are also expected to generate ₹75,000 crore in tax revenue, bolstering the national and regional economies during the festive quarter.
Every wedding in India has long been a blend of family, faith, and festivity. But in 2025, it also becomes a story of enterprise and empowerment — a celebration that brings together artisans, designers, planners, and dreamers under one grand canopy. As lights adorn city streets and music fills the air, India’s wedding season stands not only as a cultural phenomenon but as a testament to the country’s economic vitality and evolving identity.
A nation made for celebration is now proving that when India marries, the world takes notice.
The worlds of music and fashion collide once more as Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan and FENDI unveil their collaborative masterpiece, “Roman Empire.” The global artist and Maison Brand Ambassador has written, composed, and produced the single — a lyrical and visual tribute to the shared pursuit of creativity, craftsmanship, and timeless excellence.
Filmed at FENDI’s Roman headquarters, the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, the music video captures the essence of the Maison’s architectural grandeur and Bang Chan’s bold artistic identity. Within its marble arches and soft sunlight, the artist weaves the spirit of Rome into music, echoing FENDI’s legacy of sophistication and innovation.
Bang Chan describes the song as “a love compared to the eternity and grandeur of the Roman Empire,” infusing symbols of the Maison — the Peekaboo bag and the signature F logo — into his lyrics and visuals. Through this creative dialogue, he reinterprets FENDI’s classical motifs through modern soundscapes and emotion.
Musically, “Roman Empire” combines smooth R&B melodies, ethereal synth layers, and a punchy Miami Bass rhythm, producing an atmosphere that is both introspective and cinematic. The balance of elegance and power mirrors FENDI’s own design philosophy — refined yet daring, classic yet forward-looking.
The project extends beyond a traditional brand collaboration. It embodies a creative exchange where heritage meets innovation, and where Bang Chan’s role as an artist transcends performance into storytelling. His ability to merge emotion, sound, and visual identity makes “Roman Empire” not just a song, but an experience that encapsulates both his musical evolution and FENDI’s enduring legacy.
The official music video will debut on November 3 at 6:00 p.m., with a special premiere at COEX’s K-pop Square in Seoul — symbolically connecting the Roman roots of the Maison with the modern pulse of Korean pop culture.
Through “Roman Empire,” Bang Chan and FENDI reaffirm their shared vision: that artistry knows no borders, and when fashion and music unite, they create something timeless — a symphony of style, emotion, and creative freedom.

In a symbolic moment of pride and unity, Chief Minister Dr. Sawant and Union Minister Dr. Mandaviya, along with the dignitaries, unveiled the FIDE World Cup 2025 Trophy, marking the official commencement of the tournament.
The FIDE World Cup Goa 2025 brings together some of the world’s finest chess grandmasters and rising talents, shining a global spotlight on Goa as a premier destination for international sporting events.

Goa experienced one of its wettest Octobers on record, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reporting 374.6mm of rain during October 2025. This makes it the fifth highest October rainfall total in the state in nearly 100 years of data.
The wettest October on record for Goa remains 2019, when 546.8mm of rain was recorded, followed by 2006 (423.8mm), 1955 (413.2mm), and 1985 (394.3mm). The latest figure places 2025 in fifth position, highlighting the unusual intensity of this year’s late monsoon surge.
Meteorologist and retired NIO chief scientist M. R. Ramesh Kumar explained that about 60% of the month’s rain fell during the last week of October, driven by a depression system over the southeastern Arabian Sea that caused widespread precipitation across Goa.
Rainfall, however, was uneven across the state. IMD data showed Pernem and Mormugao received the highest totals at 498mm each, while Valpoi recorded the lowest at 209mm till the morning of October 31.
Kumar described the pattern as “lopsided,” noting that most rain was concentrated in the second half of the month. “There was no rainfall on October 12 and 13, and only trace amounts were recorded on the 8th, 14th, and 18th,” he said.
The other years that make up the top 10 rainiest Octobers in Goa include 2009 (351.8mm), 1931 (344mm), 1928 (332mm), 2010 (325.5mm), and 2024 (300mm).
The data underscores how unpredictable the post-monsoon period can be — with global weather systems and sea surface conditions increasingly influencing local rainfall extremes.
