For the ceremony, Sobhita kept true to her minimal and traditional style looking elegant in a red and gold saree

The pictures shared on social media showed tender moments from the ceremony like the bride-to-be receiving an aarti and elders applying turmeric paste on her feet

The clean, solid blouse featured a high neck and full sleeves, which she accessorised with traditional gold bajubandh

The event is celebrated to bring blessing and purification to the soon-to-be-married couple

Pelli Kuthuru, literally translating to “bride ritual”, is a treasured Telegu pre-wedding ritual which celebrates the bride-to-be as she transitions into married life

She was joined by her sister, Samanta, and brother-in-law, Sahil Gupta for the intimate ceremony

Intricate traditional jewellery including a choker, bangles, jhumkas and maang tika along with a Telegu-style bottu (bindi) tied her looks together
