Naireeta hails from Chandannagar, while Aritra calls Kolkata home. Their journey began during their student days at IIT, where a campus friendship quickly turned into a lifelong love story. The couple kicked off their celebrations at The Floatel Kolkata before hosting a riverside Bengali wedding in Chandannagar. At Muddyearth, we capture these unscripted journeys where college romance turns into family heritage.
Floatel Sunset Engagement and Bright Yellow Haldi
First, the couple gathered relatives on the open deck of The Floatel Kolkata. Framed against the iconic Hooghly River and Howrah Bridge, Aritra wore a black suit while Naireeta chose a pink lehenga.
Meanwhile, our photographer captured romantic sunset portraits as ships passed on the water. Afterwards, the morning brought an outdoor Gaye Holud ceremony decorated with yellow marigold garlands.
Next, the couple put on matching sunglasses and yellow kurtas, sharing unscripted laughter as friends applied fresh turmeric paste.

Afterwards, the main evening ceremony took place at a scenic venue along the Chandannagar riverfront. Naireeta stepped out in a classic red Banarasi saree, gold jewelry, and a handcrafted white Mukut.
Meanwhile, our team captured her glowing expression under warm ambient light strings. The couple then completed traditional Bengali customs, including the Mala Badal garland exchange and the Khoi Pora puffed-rice offering.
