The pre-wedding festivities for Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are in full swing at the ITC Mementos Udaipur, leading up to their highly anticipated wedding on February 26, 2026.
The sangeet ceremony, held on Tuesday evening, February 24, was marked by a deeply emotional and traditional gesture from the groom’s family.
The Heirloom Gift
In a standout moment of the sangeet, Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, presented Rashmika with traditional heirloom bangles.
- Symbolism: The gift is said to represent “acceptance, love, and the passing of a family legacy,” welcoming Rashmika as the new Kodalu (daughter-in-law) of the Deverakonda family.
- Family Traditions: This follows reports that Vijay’s parents had only one simple condition for their daughter-in-law: that she simply “be herself” and integrate into the family with the same warmth she has always shown.
Sangeet Highlights: The ‘Rowdy’ Energy
The night wasn’t just about emotional traditions; it was also a high-energy celebration:
- Performances: Vijay’s “groomsmen” reportedly set the stage on fire with a special performance on a popular “Rowdy” track, paying homage to Vijay’s famous screen persona.
- Couple Dance: Rashmika and Vijay reportedly performed together to the song Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale from their first hit film, Geetha Govindam, bringing their journey full circle for the friends and family in attendance.
