Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya will soon be tying the knot. The wedding rituals of the couple have already begun and are in full swing. Recently, the actress performed the ‘Raata ceremony’. She wore the traditional jewellery of her mother and grandmother. This was indeed quite a surreal moment for the actress. According to a source close to the actress, “She has worn her mother and grandmother’s jewellery pieces which made it even more special for the actress.”
Check out her look right here:-
The Raata ceremony, a significant pre-wedding ritual in many Telugu traditions, marks an important step before the bride is officially married. During this event, a bamboo stick is planted along with leaves of mango, jamun, and Jammi trees, which are then worshipped with sacred materials like pancha loha, navaratan (nine gems), and navadhaanya (nine grains). A sacred potli (bag) is tied to the pole, and prayers are offered to the pancha bhuta (five elements) and devtas of all eight directions. This ritual is believed to purify and bless the bride before her journey into married life.
Clad in a stunning mustard-yellow saree, Sobhita highlighted the subtle elegance of Indian fabrics. Statement gold jewellery, including as elaborate chokers, tiered necklaces, and traditional gold bangles, was worn with the saree, which had exquisite designs and a radiant lustre. Her already stunning appearance was enhanced by the vintage touch of her bridal nose ring, or nath. Each piece of jewellery complemented her elegant manner and paid homage to India’s rich cultural past.
Following the Raata ceremony, the Mangalasnaanam ritual takes place, which is a Telugu version of the Haldi ceremony. During Mangalasnaanam, turmeric paste is applied to the bride’s body as a part of the auspicious cleansing process before the wedding.
Sobhita, who is known for her grace and elegance, looked radiant during the ceremonies. Sobhita and Naga looked perfectly made for each other during their spotting together. Fans can’t wait to witness this union of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala.
