Vijay and Rashmika to follow Kodava rituals at Udaipur wedding: Here’s what to expect

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna wedding: Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding is about love and layered traditions coming together. The Geetha Govindam couple is set to tie the knot on February 26 in Udaipur’s ITC Mementos. While the two Telugu stars have kept their relationship largely private over the years, their wedding is already the talk of the industry, and for good reason.

The ceremony will blend two rich cultural lineages: Kodava and Telugu traditions. That fusion alone makes this celebration stand out. Scroll down to read about it in detail!

Vijay and Rashmika to marry in Kodava tradition

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding will blend both Kodava and Telugu traditions, making the ceremony culturally rich and distinctive. As per Telugu customs, the sacred mangalsutra ritual, known as mangalyadharana, will be performed. In Kodava weddings, however, priests do not hold primary importance; instead, ancestral blessings are central to the ceremony.

Unlike the traditional rice ritual practised in many Telugu weddings, the Kodava bride symbolically carries coins. Unique attire, authentic regional cuisine and the special honour given to the bride’s mother further define Kodava customs. The couple’s ceremony is expected to beautifully reflect these meaningful traditions.

The wedding will be an intimate affair, attended only by close family members and a select circle of friends. A grand reception is planned in Hyderabad at a later date, where colleagues from the film industry are expected to join the festivities. Meanwhile, the couple have already reached Udaipur, and their wedding invitation has gone viral on social media.

Pre-wedding celebrations are already underway. The mehndi ceremony was scheduled for Tuesday (February 24), followed by haldi and sangeet functions on February 25. These events are being described as private yet royal in tone. Guests will reportedly be welcomed with coconut water. Interestingly, Japanese cuisine is also expected to feature during the festivities.
