Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam, is a Telugu pre-wedding ritual, which signifies the beginning of the wedding soiree. The literal meaning of Godhuma is wheat, while Raayi means stones. On the other hand, Pasupu means haldi, and danchatam signifies crushing. On this auspicious day, the entire home of the bride and groom gets decorated with banana leaves and mango leaves along with flowers, and it begins with a Ganesh puja at the couple's respective homes. The festivity first begins in the groom's home, followed by the bride's, and a whole lot of guests are invited.
The women of the house, mainly the mother of the groom, offer Thamboolam and coconut to a mortar and pestle, which, later, five other married women use to grind the turmeric until it turns to a fine powder. This powder is later used in the couple's haldi ceremony and other wedding festivities, wherein it would be needed. Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's wedding date is yet to be announced but it seems close as they have already kickstarted the same.
Sobhita Dhulipala never skips a chance to shell out major fashion goals. Well, for the engagement and first pre-wedding soiree, she kept it sober and simple, which screamed the actress' love for minimalistic style statements. For her Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam ceremony, Sobhita donned a Kanjeevaram saree, which had Ganga-Jamuna borders in green and beige hues. The base of the saree was in red hue and had golden stripes on it.
Sobhita teamed her saree with a beige-toned blouse, highlighted with a golden border. To finalise her look, she opted for gold jewels, including two necklaces, a pair of jhumkis, and a set of green bangles with two golden ones. A soft touch of makeup, gajra adorned braided hair, and a bindi added stars to her look.
For their Nischitaardham, i.e. engagement ceremony, Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya opted for Manish Malhotra's ensembles, and both of their traditional wears had a deep-rooted touch to their Telugu cultures.
