Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna celebrated their wedding in Udaipur on February 26, embracing elaborate gold jewelry and traditional Kodava rituals that honor the bride’s heritage. The intimate ceremony showcased regal attire, blending cultural authenticity with striking fashion statements.
Groom’s Bold Traditional Ensemble
Vijay Deverakonda opted for a custom Anamika Khanna ivory dhoti paired with a vibrant vermillion angavastram, styled elegantly by Ami Patel. Breaking from modern groom conventions, he adorned himself with multiple heritage gold pieces typically reserved for brides, challenging gender norms in bridal wear.
Key highlights include temple wrist jewelry on his arms, a broad gold Oddiyanam belt securing his dhoti for a powerful silhouette, and two heavy necklaces—a Kasu mala featuring coin motifs and a long haram. Gold Kadukkan earrings, a Kolusu anklet, and a ritual thread on his forehead completed the look, rooted in South Indian wedding traditions.
Bride’s Regal South Indian Bridal Glory
Rashmika Mandanna captivated in a luxurious rust saree accented by a bold red border, also from Anamika Khanna. Her jewelry amplified the drama: Jada Billa gold chains woven through her braid, a classic South Indian bridal element, paired with ornate shoulder jewelry that draped elegantly over the saree.
Layered necklaces dominated her neckline, from a fitted choker to elongated heavy harams, alongside oversized gold jhumkas and a mang tika. This opulent array delivered full regal bridal energy, far from minimalism.
The couple’s commitment to Kodava customs brings a refreshing authenticity to celebrity weddings, highlighting timeless South Indian jewelry craftsmanship.
