Newlyweds Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda attended the pre-wedding festivities of Allu Sirish, the brother of Allu Arjun, in Hyderabad today. The celebrations began with the traditional Pelli Koduku ceremony.
The event was held at the Allu family residence. The Pelli Koduku ceremony is an important ritual on the groom's side in Telugu weddings. The day started with the sacred mangala snanam, during which Allu Sirish was ceremonially bathed and anointed with turmeric and sandalwood paste. The ritual symbolises purification, blessings, and his transition into married life.
Rashmika and Vijay were seen taking part in the celebrations and greeting family members. The ceremony was also attended by Ram Charan and Upasana Konidela.
Allu Sirish is set to marry Nayanika Reddy on March 6. Ahead of the wedding, the family will host a grand reception for extended guests on March 4 at Taj Krishna.
