Pre-wedding

Pellikuthuru or Mangala Snanam

The Telugu blessing and auspicious bath on the morning of the wedding.

What happens

The Telugu pre-wedding ceremonies, often on the morning of the wedding: the mangala snanam, an auspicious bath after turmeric and oil are applied by relatives, and the pellikuthuru (for the bride) or pellikoduku (for the groom), when the family blesses them and dresses them in new clothes.

Vendors: a priest for the rituals, decor for the ceremony space, a photographer, and hair and makeup for the bride once the ceremony ends.
