The wedding celebrations of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have moved into a vibrant new phase, with Haldi preparations taking centre stage. Vijay gave fans a glimpse of the intimate setup in his latest Instagram Stories, and the visuals blend tradition and personal charm. The first frame reveals a beautifully styled Haldi venue set outdoors. A circular space, enclosed by soft wooden panelling, is carpeted with delicate pink rose petals. At the centre sit two small wooden stools — placed for the bride and groom during the ritual. Surrounding the area are baskets brimming with bright yellow and orange marigold petals, adding a festive and auspicious touch to the setting. The backdrop features lush floral arrangements in warm hues, creating a serene garden-like ambience.
In another Story, Vijay shared a close-up of personalised floral name placards. One flower-shaped card reads “Rushie” —nickname for Rashmika — while the other reads “Vijay.” Placed among fresh lilies, roses and marigolds, the décor detail adds an intimate, romantic element to the traditional ceremony. After playful pre-wedding events like the ‘Virosh Premier League’ cricket match, the festivities now transition into sacred rituals. With its golden marigolds, rose-petal carpet and heartfelt personal touches, the Haldi setup signals the beginning of one of the most cherished wedding ceremonies. The celebrations continue to offer fans carefully curated glimpses of joy, tradition and togetherness as the couple’s big day approaches.
