A TALE of religious unity has emerged from Pune, India, showcasing how different faiths can not only co-exist but truly thrive.

A recent report by Malaysia Nanban detailed a remarkable event where a Muslim wedding generously made space for a Hindu ceremony, creating an unforget­table moment of shared joy.

The incident unfolded in a hall in Pune in the state of Maharashtra.

A Muslim couple were in the midst of their wedding ceremony inside the hall while a Hindu couple were celebrating their nuptials at the adjacent outdoor venue.

Suddenly, the clear skies gave way to a relentless downpour.

As the rain showed no signs of stopping, the Hindu couple’s family approached the Muslim family, seeking permission to use a portion of the indoor hall.

Without hesitation, they readily agreed, inviting the Hindu couple to share the very same stage.

This touching episode quickly went viral across Pune.
