Pelli Koduku Ceremony

The Pelli Koduku Ceremony is a traditional and meaningful pre-wedding ritual in South Indian culture, performed for the groom before the wedding day. This sacred ceremony marks the formal beginning of the wedding celebrations and is filled with rituals, blessings, and joyful moments.
During the ceremony, the groom is anointed with turmeric paste by close family members and elders—a ritual believed to purify the body, ward off negativity, and bring prosperity. Traditional prayers are offered for a happy and harmonious married life, and the groom seeks the blessings of elders to begin this new chapter.
Surrounded by love, laughter, and family, this ceremony reflects the cultural richness and emotional warmth of a South Indian wedding. It is followed by a delicious lunch, bringing everyone together to share in the joy of the occasion.
A beautiful start to the wedding festivities, the Pelli Koduku ceremony is a celebration of tradition, family, and the journey ahead.
