In an age where relationships are often fleeting, a couple from a remote tribal village in Rajasthan has redefined the meaning of love, commitment, and togetherness. After living together for 70 years, raising a family of six, and watching their grandchildren grow, 95-year-old Rama Bhai Kharari and 90-year-old Jeewali Devi finally got married—marking the beginning of a new chapter in a lifelong love story.
From Live-In to Lifelong Vows
The couple, residents of Galandar village in Dungarpur district, had lived in a traditional tribal live-in partnership for over seven decades—long before the concept became a topic of modern conversation. Together, they raised six children, four of whom now hold government jobs, and helped shape a legacy rooted in love and unity.
Their eldest child, now nearly 60, decided it was time to turn his parents’ unspoken dream into a reality. Honoring their wish, the entire family united to organize a full-fledged wedding ceremony—one that quickly became a matter of celebration not just for the family, but for the entire village.
A Celebration of a Lifetime
What followed was nothing short of magical. The village came alive with traditional bindouli processions, folk songs, joyful dance, and the saat phere (seven sacred vows) around the fire. The newlyweds, dressed in traditional attire, were blessed by villagers and relatives who gathered to witness a rare and beautiful event.
A community feast followed the ceremony, with laughter, tears, and blessings echoing across the fields of Galandar. For many, it felt less like a wedding and more like a tribute to everlasting love and shared memories.
Internet Falls in Love with Their Story
As photos and videos of the ceremony began circulating online, the heartwarming story went viral, drawing admiration from people across the country. In a world driven by quick decisions and fleeting emotions, this couple’s story stood out as a beacon of hope and emotional depth.
Their wedding wasn’t just a personal celebration—it became a symbol of resilience, enduring partnership, and the power of lifelong companionship.
