BBC World, the world's leading international English-language news channel, invites applications from soon-to-be-married Indian couples for its forthcoming programme on Indian weddings. The programme scheduled to air later this year will focus on the business that Indian weddings generate, in addition to the traditions and mystique.
Produced by Pulse Media, this programme will give a couple who are scheduled to get married in March, an opportunity to have their wedding featured on the channel. The short-listed entries will be chosen on the basis of their profiles and auditions will take place in Delhi.

"With this innovative series we plan to exhibit an Indian wedding from a business perspective which we believe will be a revelation to audiences across the globe. From the bridal trousseau to the banqueting options and the wedding planners, Indian weddings provide a commercial opportunity across many industries. By showcasing a real wedding, we believe BBC World will be able to effectively capture the fascinating customs while at the same time accessing the financial intricacies of modern-day marriage in India," says Narendhra Morar, commissioning editor, BBC World.
The entries for BBC World's wedding series auditions are open until 14 January 2007 for Indian couples getting married in March 2007. Profiles and pictures of candidates can be emailed to bbcworld@pulsemedia.co.in or BBC World Audition, c/o Pulse media Pvt. Ltd 95A, CL House, 3rd Floor, Gulmohar Enclave, New Delhi 110049.
