The celebration was hosted by Indian diamond trader Mahesh Savani in the western state of Gujarat. A similar mass wedding is held by the diamond trader each year

 

In previous years, Savani has given gifts of gold and household items, including sofas and beds, worth 500,000 rupees ($7,400) to each of the brides to help them start married life. It is believed that this year's women will receive similar gifts

 

Savani said he feels a 'social responsibility' to help the woman who can't afford their own weddings. Pictured above, a bride and groom take part in wedding rituals during the ceremony

 

Weddings in India are expensive affairs with the bride's family traditionally expected to pay the groom a large dowry of cash and gifts
