For the bash, Sobhita wore a silver and blue saree and blouse. She also wore earrings and bangles. She gave different poses and smiled for the paparazzi stationed at the venue before joining her colleagues for the party.
A day ahead of the party, Sobhita took to Instagram and shared pictures from the Pasupu Danchadam ceremony. “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu Danchadam And so it begins,” she captioned the post. For the ceremony, Sobhita wore a vibrant saree with a gold and green border. In the photos, 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 pictures, Sobhita was seen crushing turmeric and seeking theblessings of elders.
