Archduke Konrad of Austria & Ashmita Goswami, December 2005

[pdas1201]

Is she the first person of Indian descent to marry into a royal family? I was surprised to see that there was no corresponding Indian ceremony. Many inter-religious couples choose to do a ceremony in each religion or some combination of the two. If I'm mistaken, please let me know!

I think she is a Hindu (as her last name denotes Gujarati; people from or trace their descent from the Indian state of Gujarat)

Although, many inter-religious couples choose to have both the ceremonies, its not necessary. They might have preferred one ceremony to having two. It could also be that they might have had a intimate Hindu wedding ceremony which was publicized much.

Did Archduchess Ashmita convert to Roman Catholicism?
