Congress leader Mohammed Nalapad's second marriage at Kodagu resort
Mohammed Haris Nalapad is a leader in a big political party called Congress.
He is getting married again, and his bride-to-be is named Maliha Fatima.
The wedding will happen at a fancy resort near a town called Madikeri.
Family and friends will stay at the resort for five days, from August 15th to 20th.
On Sunday, a special Muslim wedding ceremony called a Nikah will take place.
Important people are invited, like the Chief Minister of Karnataka and two famous movie actors.
The general public is not allowed inside the resort while the celebrations are going on.
About one hundred rooms have been booked for the guests.
Both families gave their permission for the marriage.
Nalapad was married once before, in 2017.
Mohammed Haris Nalapad, former president of the Karnataka Pradesh Youth Congress, will marry Maliha Fatima in a Nikah ceremony at a resort near Madikeri.
The wedding festivities run from August 15-20, with the Nikah scheduled for midday on Sunday.
