The significance of Sobhita Dhulipala’s pre-wedding rituals
A source who attended the ceremony said, “Sobhita’s wedding festivities began with the Pelli Raata ceremony which is usually done before the girl becomes a bride. Then they had the Mangalasnaanam rituals which is a Telugu version of Haldi. They also had Pelli Kuthuru ceremony where Sobhita was in a bridal attire, an Aarti was performed and she was blessed by married women and given bangles.

Naga Chaitanya and his family, including dad Nagarjuna, also joined Sobhita’s family for an intimate lunch during the ceremonies, the source informed.

These ceremonies, deeply rooted in the rich culture of the South Indian community, are a mark of respect for heritage and family. The bride-to-be, Sobhita, has been seen embracing these traditions with grace, often seen in stunning traditional attire that celebrates the culture.
