Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala Kick Off Wedding Preparations

Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya are gearing up for their wedding. On Monday, Sobhita shared stunning photos from a pre-wedding ceremony, captioning the post, “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam And so it begins!” The celebration took place in Vishakhapatnam.

In the context of Telugu weddings, the phrase “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu Danchatam” carries deep significance. “Godhuma” means wheat, “Raayi” refers to stone, “Pasupu” is turmeric, and “Danchatam” means crushing or grinding. Together, it describes a traditional ritual where the bride and groom jointly grind wheat, turmeric, and sometimes other ingredients on a grinding stone. This act symbolizes the beginning of their life together, highlighting their shared responsibilities and teamwork as they prepare to embark on a new journey as a married couple.

In this context, the act symbolizes unity and cooperation, emphasizing that marriage is a partnership where both individuals work together in harmony. It’s one of many traditional rituals that celebrate the union of the bride and groom in a Telugu wedding.

For the ritual, Sobhita wore a stunning silk saree in peach, gold, and green hues. Surrounded by friends and family, she sought blessings from the elders by touching their feet and participated in the customary grinding of turmeric. Fans expressed their excitement for her upcoming nuptials, with comments like, “So aesthetically beautiful,” and “How beautiful you are.”
