How can NRIs marry in India while living in the UK?

Could you please advise how we can get married soon, what documents are required, and whether we need to obtain any documents from the UK for marriage in India? Also, please let me know the expected timelines.

Usually required documents include passports, visa, birth date, passport size, photographs, address proof and unmarried status, habit of it.
