**HYDERABAD, INDIA (November 29, 2024)** – Actors Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya have commenced their pre-wedding celebrations with a traditional Mangalasnanam ceremony, images of which have surfaced online. The ceremony, a significant South Indian ritual signifying purification and good fortune for the couple, saw Dhulipala change into two stunning traditional outfits. Photos and videos shared on social media show the actress adorned in gold jewelry and vibrant sarees, participating in the haldi ceremony alongside Chaitanya.
The Mangalasnanam, literally translating to “auspicious bath,” is believed to wash away negativity and prepare the couple for a prosperous future. Pictures depict Dhulipala in a mustard saree with a strapless blouse and later in a pink-red silk saree. Chaitanya sported an ivory embroidered kurta.
The couple, who kept their relationship private until an engagement announcement in August, are reportedly set to wed on December 4th. Earlier this year, Dhulipala shared images from another pre-wedding ceremony, the Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam, on her Instagram. The release of these latest photos has generated significant online buzz and excitement amongst fans eagerly awaiting the wedding.
