For the ceremony, Sobhita donned a vibrant saree with a gold and green border. In the images, she could be seen surrounded by the women of her household.
Pasupu Danchadam is a traditional Telugu pre-wedding ceremony that marks the beginning of wedding festivities.
Pasupu means turmeric and danchadam signifies crushing. The phrase roughly translates to "crushing wheat, stone, and turmeric together."
In the images, we can see Sobhita crushing turmeric and seeking blessings of elders.
An official announcement regarding Sobhita and Naga's wedding date and the venue is yet to be made.
