Pelli Kuturu Ceremony

The Pelli Kuturu Ceremony is a beautiful and traditional pre-wedding ritual performed for the bride in South Indian weddings. It marks the beginning of her transformation into a bride and is filled with love, blessings, and joyful moments shared with close family and friends.
During the ceremony, the bride is anointed with turmeric paste by the women in the family—a sacred ritual believed to purify, protect, and bring a natural glow before the wedding. She is then showered with blessings, vibrant flowers, and warm wishes for a happy and prosperous married life.
The ceremony is not only spiritual but also deeply emotional, as the bride prepares to step into a new phase of life. It is followed by traditional Mangala Snanam (auspicious bath) and often includes beautiful music, laughter, and family bonding.
This heartfelt event is a celebration of tradition, culture, and the love surrounding the bride as she gets ready to begin her journey as a wife.
