Sobhita Dhulipala's pre-wedding festivities

Sobhita had posted pictures of her pre-wedding festivities a week ago. She captioned the post, “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam…And so it begins!” The ceremony was held in Vishakhapatnam. Godhuma means wheat. Raayi means stone. Pasupu means turmeric. Danchatam means crushing or grinding. So, the phrase roughly translates to "crushing wheat, stone, and turmeric together". It has significance in the context of Telugu weddings. It refers to a traditional ritual where the bride and groom jointly grind wheat, turmeric, and sometimes other ingredients on a grinding stone (raayi). This act symbolizes the beginning of their life together, where they share responsibilities, work together, and prepare for a new phase in life.
