Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya have formally kicked off their pre-wedding celebrations, beginning with the Godhuma Raayi, also called the Pasupu Danchatam ceremony, on October 21, 2024. The couple, who secretly dated for 2 years earlier than their engagement in August, delighted followers as Sobhita shared stunning moments from the ceremony on her Instagram.
Within the Godhuma Raayi ritual, historically noticed in Telugu weddings, ladies from the bride and groom’s households take part in grinding uncooked turmeric and wheat, symbolising the union of the 2 households. This ceremonial turmeric paste is later used in the course of the Haldi ceremony, highlighting the importance of this auspicious occasion.
The Godhuma Raayi ceremony is only the start, as each households now shift focus to getting ready for the marriage, together with finalising the bride’s trousseau and planning lavish celebrations. Followers are eagerly awaiting extra glimpses from the much-anticipated marriage ceremony of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala.
