In an intimate ceremony at the ultra-luxurious ITC Mementos Udaipur, the couple honoured their diverse roots with two distinct wedding rituals. Here is your ultimate breakdown of the "VIROSH" wedding.
The Morning Muhurtham: Telugu Traditions (10:10 AM)
The first ceremony took place this morning, honoring Vijay’s Telugu heritage.
The Ritual: The couple exchanged vows in a traditional Andhra (Telugu) Hindu ceremony. The muhurtham was set for 10:10 AM, during which the couple performed the sacred Jeelakarra Bellam ritual.
The Decor: The venue followed a "Primal" theme—inspired by old-world charm—with temple-style minimalist decor and fresh jasmine flowers.
The First Meal: Guests were served a traditional South Indian meal on banana leaves, featuring Hyderabadi dum biryani, natukodi pulusu, and garelu.
The Evening Kodava Ceremony (4:00 PM)
To honor Rashmika’s Coorgi roots, a second ceremony is currently underway.
The Entry: In a breathtaking moment, Rashmika is set to make a "mountain entry," walking down a scenic path from the hills to the mandap.
The Custom: Unlike typical Hindu weddings, this Kodava ceremony is guided by family elders and ancestors rather than Brahmin priests, focusing on martial history and community bonds.
The Feast: The menu has shifted to include Coorgi delicacies like Pandi Curry (pork), Kadambuttu (steamed rice balls), and Noolputtu.
The Viral "Sweet Box" Moment
Proving their "Rowdy" charm, the couple didn't forget the paparazzi stationed outside.
The Gift: Vijay and Rashmika’s team distributed special Kaju Katli gift boxes to the media.
The Touch: The boxes featured a personalized photo of Rashmika (in her Pushpa avatar) with a "Thank You" note from the couple.
PM Modi’s Personal Blessing
The wedding received a "state-level" blessing earlier today.
The Letter: Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a heartfelt congratulatory letter to the Deverakonda and Mandanna families.
The Quote: He noted, "Neither Vijay, nor Rashmika is new to scripts in their films. But this divinely scripted chapter of their real lives will surely outshine the magic they have created on the silver screen."
What’s Next: The Grand Reception
While the Udaipur wedding was restricted to just 100 VVIP guests (including directors Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Tharun Bhascker), the industry bash is still to come.
Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Venue: Taj Krishna, Hyderabad
Expect: The who’s who of the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi film industries.
