All you need to know about Samantha and Raj's wedding
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru's wedding followed the Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha tradition - an ancient yogic ritual meant to create a deep, elemental connection between partners that goes beyond emotions or the physical. This form of marriage, performed at Linga Bhairavi abodes or select venues, is believed to cleanse the five elements within the couple and bless their union with harmony, prosperity, and spiritual alignment as they start a new life together. After the couple officially posted wedding photos, several glimpses from the couple's big day went viral on social media - some of which showed the Oh! Baby actress wearing sindoor and her wedding garland.
