Indian archers Deepika Kumari, 24, and Atanu Das, 26, exchanged rings in an engagement ceremony here, and they will tie the knot next year. Wearing a cream and green coloured 'lehenga-chunhi', the Deepika was seen performing a traditional puja with Atanu at her Ratu-Chatti residence on Monday.

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda and his wife Mira were present on the occasion. After the engagement ceremony, both the archers told the media that 2019 will be a busy year, which will include the Olympic qualifications. "So we have decided to tie the knot around November next year," Das and Deepika, who were part of the Indian contingent at Rio Olympics, said.
