Telugu Weddings
Telugu weddings are vibrant and elaborate ceremonies celebrated primarily by the Telugu-speaking people of India. These weddings typically last for several days and include various rituals, such as the Nischayathartham (engagement) and Mangalya Dharanam (tying of the sacred thread). Traditional attire, like the Kanchipuram saree for brides and dhoti for grooms, is commonly worn.
The ceremonies often take place in a decorated venue, with family and friends gathering to bless the couple. A significant aspect of Telugu weddings is the Saptapadi, where the couple takes seven steps together, symbolizing their commitment to each other.
