Rashmika Mandanna’s wedding jewellery and Anand Deverakonda’s message after Udaipur ceremony
rashmika mandanna married Vijay Deverakonda on Feb 26 at ITC Momentos in Udaipur, and the two-day headlines quickly focused as much on the couple’s jewellery as on the intimate family-only ceremony.
Rashmika Mandanna's jewellery drew immediate notice
The bride wore an orangish-red drape paired with heavy South Indian temple jewellery that reviewers said evoked traditional motifs of Goddess Lakshmi, peacocks and floral carvings. She began with a heavy golden choker set around a statement round pendant and layered sleek, long chains; traditional golden-chained jhumkas were attached to the back of her hair. Observers noted a stack of golden bangles and kadas, reportedly from the groom’s family, and red traditional stacks as well. She finished the look with a floral-motif hath phool, a striking elbow cuff with small beaded chains, a fashionable engagement ring and a series of traditional gold rings, prompting one observer to say she looked as if she were walking out of a Mani Ratnam film.

Gold and drama on the groom: Vijay Deverakonda’s look
Where many grooms favor a single brooch or a diamond chain, Vijay Deverakonda sat bare-chested and wore a statement snake-chain necklace layered with a long temple-style piece. He paired matching ear studs with a warrior-like gold-drenched handcuff, flaunted his engagement ring and added another gold ring, completing a cohesive, heritage-heavy pairing with the bride.
Pieces from Hyderabad: both wore Shree Jewellers
Both the bride and the groom wore jewellery from Shree Jewellers, Hyderabad, tying their looks together into what was described as a cohesive fashion story built on balance, heritage and quiet luxury. The styling translated South Indian tradition into a Rajasthan setting and, for many in attendance, read as a royal visual statement.
