On October 21, Sobhita Dhulipala shared photos from the pre-wedding festivities. The Pasupu Danchatam is a traditional practice in Telugu weddings that marks the beginning of the festivities. Following the day, the bride's family can begin the preparations for the wedding.

Naga Chaitanya's absence from the Pasupu Danchatam photos has sparked curiosity among netizens. However, it must be noted that for the particular pre-wedding festivity, the groom's presence is not mandatory. Traditionally, the families of both the bride and groom can come together for the event without the couple. Typically, five married women come to take turns to grind auspicious ingredients in a mortal and pestle which obtains a turmeric powder that would be applied to the bride and groom on the haldi day.

Sobhita shared the photos with the caption, “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam 🦜🪷♥️And so it begins” Roughly translated Godhuma means wheat, Raayi means stone, Pasupu means turmeric and danchatam signifies crushing. It is a custom similar to the haldi ceremony, where the bride-to-be grinds the ingredients together to symbolise new life.  Sobhita shared a photo where she can be seen standing with a mortar and pestle decorated with fresh flowers.
