Inside Rashmika Mandanna–Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding: New photos show her palki entry, his ceremonial sword

The other images offered a closer look at the décor, including the floral arrangements and the wedding mandap. The initials ‘VR’, representing Vijay and Rashmika, were also incorporated into the design.

According to the wedding design team, the wedding décor was thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple’s desire for an intimate, meaningful celebration rather than a grand spectacle. Inspired by a “Periodic Era” theme, the aesthetics were rooted in India’s cultural heritage, with every detail carrying personal significance. The design was built around earthy tones and subtle terracotta elements instead of overwhelming statement pieces.

Vijay’s preference for terracotta found its way into the palette, while his mother’s wish to include sacred mantras on the Adduthera added a spiritual touch to the setting. The overall vision was to create a wedding that felt simple, authentic and deeply connected to their roots , where the décor, attire and visual elements blended seamlessly.

Vijay complemented her in an ivory dhoti silhouette paired with a vermillion angavastram draped across his shoulders. His outfit was adorned with forest and temple-inspired motifs symbolising power, lineage and sacred heritage.

Both chose traditional gold jewellery to complete their looks. Vijay paired his attire with statement ear studs, a wrist cuff, layered necklaces, ankle kadas and a ring, while Rashmika wore an elaborate set of 11 pieces including a choker, jhumkas, jada billa, champasaralu, hathphool, mathapatti, nose pin, bangles, bajuband, waist belt and anklets.

Crafted over 10 months by Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar of SHREE Jewellers, Vijay’s jewellery carried regal motifs like elephants and tigers, lending him a kingly presence, while Rashmika’s ensemble was envisioned to evoke the aura of a living goddess.

Rashmika and Vijay got engaged in October 2025 in a private ceremony in Hyderabad. Their relationship was officially confirmed just days before the wedding.
