Chay- Sobhita not opting for destination wedding?

Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's upcoming wedding is expected to take place by the end of this year. The couple got engaged on August 8, 2024, in Hyderabad, and since then, rumours have circulated about their

wedding plans

. Initially, there was speculation about a lavish

destination wedding

in Rajasthan, following the trend set by other celebrity couples. However, recent reports suggest a shift towards a more intimate local ceremony.
Sources indicate that Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala are planning a

traditional wedding

ceremony on December 4, 2024, at

Annapurna Studios

in Hyderabad. While no official confirmation has been made regarding the date or venue, insiders seem confident about this arrangement.
The couple has officially kicked off their pre-wedding festivities, starting with the traditional

Pasupu Danchadam

ceremony on October 21, 2024. This ceremony is a significant part of

Telugu weddings

and marks the beginning of the wedding celebrations.

During the Pasupu Danchadam, which translates to "crushing wheat, stone, and turmeric" the couple participates in a ritual where they grind these ingredients on a grinding stone. The turmeric powder produced during this ceremony will later be used in other wedding rituals, including the haldi ceremony.
Sobhita shared pictures from the event on her social media, where she was seen in an elegant Kanjivaram silk saree, adorned with gold jewelry and jasmine flowers in her hair. The ceremony was filled with family and friends.
