Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's wedding celebrations begin with a traditional Godhuma Raayi ceremony, see pics

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala are all set to get married any time soon. Bride-to-be Sobhita shared many images from her traditional Godhuma Raayi ceremony which is held to mark the pre-wedding celebrations.

The Godhuma Raayi/Pasupu danchatam ceremony marks the beginning of wedding celebrations at the homes of both the bride and groom.

Sobhita shared a series of colourful pictures of hers from the ceremony which was full of love, laughter and traditions.

Sobhita made for the prettiest bride-to-be in an orange Pattu saree with cream and green border. She tied her hair in a simple braid and traditional gold jewellery. Her plain green bangles, usually worn by brides-to-be stole the show.

Like her engagement look, Sobhita kept the make up very minimalistic with simple bindi and lip colour.

She was seen performing rituals with her mother and close relatives. Sobhita looked the happiest with her gang of girls as she laughed her heart out.

In one of the pictures, Sobhita is seen with her eyes closed as a priests performs a ritual. She is also seen seeking blessings of her elders after the ceremony.

Pasupu Danchatam is also known as Pasupu Kottadam. It is a traditional Telugu pre-wedding ceremony that marks the beginning of wedding festivities. Very similar to the Haldi ceremonies at North Indian weddings, this ceremony also uses turmeric to purify the couple before marriage.

Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya got engaged in August this year at the latter's house. Naga's father and superstar Nagarjuna had shared the beautiful pictures of the ceremony back then.

The couple's engagement came after a period of private dating. Chaitanya was previously married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu; the two married in 2017 but announced their separation in 2021 through a joint statement on Instagram.
