Sobhita Dhulipala wore her mother and grandmother's traditional jewellery for the Raata ceremony. It is a significant pre-wedding ritual in many Telugu traditions. During this ceremony, a bamboo stick is planted along with leaves of mango, jamun, and Jammi trees, which are then worshipped with sacred materials like pancha loha, navaratan (nine gems), and navadhaanya (nine grains).

Following the Raata ceremony, the Mangalasnaanam ritual takes place. During Mangalasnaanam, turmeric paste is applied to the bride’s body. In the latest photos shared by Sobhita from her pre-wedding ceremony, her sister Samantha posed alongside The Night Manager actress, and their mother and father also came together in the happy family frame.
