Vijay’s post and highlights of the Pradhanam
Vijay wrote with his post: ‘25.02.26 The Pradhanam and Mehendi evening. The most fun evening, an evening that was lived to the full, an evening I wished had 100 more hours in it @toraniofficial.’ The post soon got a lot of notice, as fans liked the natural, easygoing photos from the celebration.
The pictures are of gentle moments during the Pradhanam, natural laughter, and the colours of the mehendi customs. A number of photos show the couple walking hand-in-hand and sitting with family, giving a casual look behind the scenes at their events before the wedding.
What the Pradhanam is, and its part in Telugu custom
Pradhanam is a traditional South Indian event before a wedding, and is often seen as a formal engagement. At this event, both families meet to agree to the marriage, and give each other gifts to show their blessing of the couple, and to make their promise official in a cultural way.
The custom mixes seriousness with fun. It usually has small events led by older family members, music, and times when photos catch feelings that are both private and public. For many couples, Pradhanam is the first official step toward getting married.
The clothes and work of Karan Torani
For the evening, Rashmika wore a very detailed lehenga choli made by designer Karan Torani. The outfit put together earth colours with designs from their history and complex embroidery, and was made simple with little jewellery and her hair down for a classy, modern look.
Vijay chose a grand but easy traditional look with a bright embroidered jacket, a dark coloured kurta and a dark blue dhoti. Both outfits showed Torani’s usual festive heritage style, and a careful matching that went with the customs and the place.
What the Udaipur events before the wedding were like
The Pradhanam and Mehendi evening was part of a number of days of celebrations in Udaipur, which began with playful events like a cricket game and a Holi-like Haldi. The couple got married on February 26 in a private event, and photos from the days before show a small group of friends and family enjoying every moment.
Photos from the mehendi show Rashmika with her friends, clapping and smiling as music is played. Other pictures show small customs done by the parents during the Pradhanam, and a lovely photo of Rashmika putting her head on her sister’s shoulder. The easy photos show how personal and family-focused the events were.
How fans responded, and what is next for the new couple
Fans happily answered the new photos, praising the couple and showing love on social media. The posts kept being popular as admirers praised the styling, the cultural nods, and the obvious chemistry between the two.
After the private wedding, the couple had a reception in Hyderabad. They honoured both Telugu and Kodava traditions during their events, showing a wish to praise different backgrounds while going on together. The photos shared give a bright, real look at those first days of marriage and the customs that made them.
