Haldi ceremony of VIROSH
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026. Their pre-wedding festivities are in full swing in Udaipur, where they are hosting their destination wedding. The couple had their haldi ceremony on Wednesday, a day before their wedding. The duo, who have been sharing glimpses from the grand celebrations, posted pictures of their aesthetic haldi décor.
On Wednesday, Rashmika and Vijay took to their Instagram Stories to share glimpses from the ceremony. In a post shared by Vijay, the haldi décor featured paper flower decorations that read "Vijay and Rishie." Another picture showed two wooden stools meant for the bride and groom placed at the centre of a circular space filled with pink flowers and surrounded by colourful floral arrangements.
Meanwhile, Rashmika shared a picture of the aesthetic seating set-up for their haldi ceremony. She also posted what appeared to be a wall painting of their respective pet dogs enjoying a ride together, along with some text on the wall. In another image, a basket full of pichkaris could be seen, indicating that the couple had a fun, Holi-style haldi celebration.
Earlier, glimpses from their sangeet night on Tuesday also surfaced on social media.
As per reports in Moneycontrol, the wedding will take place at 10 am as per the muhurtham on February 26. A source close to the couple said, "While the rituals in the morning will happen as per Telugu culture and tradition, another ceremony in the evening will take place as per Kodava community rituals."
It is to be noted that while Vijay's family belongs to the Telugu community, Rashmika comes from the Kodava community. Planning two ceremonies underlines the couple's commitment to respecting each other's heritage.
The wedding ceremony will take place at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur. On Sunday, the actor couple officially announced their wedding. Ahead of the sangeet, the pre-wedding festivities featured a cricket bash, adding to a growing collection of personal snapshots from the celebrations - from pool volleyball games with friends to elegant, Japanese-inspired dinners.
The ceremony is described as private and intimate, with only close family and friends in attendance, followed by planned receptions. However, a few industry friends were spotted at the venue. Following their Udaipur wedding, the couple is set to host a grand reception in Hyderabad on March 4, reportedly at Taj Krishna. The reception is expected to be attended by friends, colleagues and prominent members of the Telugu film industry.
