Rashmika Mandanna's Kodava silk bridal look, temple jewellery and Udaipur decor

Anamika Khanna’s signature precision framed Rashmika Mandanna’s bridal moment at ITC Mementos, Udaipur, where Vogue In observed that “Between the layers of gold temple jewellery and the couple's traditional ensemble, the wedding felt like a page straight out of Indian mythology.” The ceremony married South Indian craft and palace staging, and Vogue In credits Khanna with a custom-made rust silk sari worked with antique-gold temple motifs and a bold-red border.

Vogue In reported the weekend’s rituals split across regions: the morning honoured Vijay Deverakonda’s Telugu traditions, while the evening paid homage to Mandanna’s Kodava roots from Coorg. Vogue In also noted a Kodava bride’s distinctive drape - pleats at the back rather than the front - as a cultural marker of ancestry, nature and family blessings that shaped the evening look and silhouette.

Descriptions of the primary sari varied by outlet, reflecting either different sets or differing color reads under Udaipur light. WeddingsbyNeerajKamra described a “rich orange silk saree adorned with intricate golden zari embroidery,” while Vogue In called it a rust sari with temple motifs embroidered in antique gold, and BollywoodShaadis quoting The Indian Express referred to a “red crimson silk saree with heavy zari embroidery.” Vogue In explicitly names Anamika Khanna as the designer responsible for the custom drape and embroidered sacred-geometry motifs.

The jewellery anchored the look: Vogue In lists a temple-jewellery set by Shree Jewellers that included “a choker layered with harams, jhumkas, champasaralu, mathapatti, bangles, bajuband, waist belt, anklets, nose pin, hathphool and the unmistakable jada billa running through her hair.” Cost estimates reported via BollywoodShaadis and quoting The Indian Express place a heavy temple set in the range of Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 5.5 lakh, a saree between Rs. 3 lakh and Rs. 8 lakh, and a full bridal styling package - including accessories and florals - potentially between Rs. 8 lakh and Rs. 15 lakh.

Vijay Deverakonda’s groom look read as coordinated tradition. WeddingsbyNeerajKamra called it “a masterclass in traditional elegance,” describing a cream and gold silk dhoti with a red embroidered angavastram; Vogue In described him in an ivory dhoti silhouette paired with a vermillion angavastram, styled by Ami Patel, noting Hyderabad-inspired forest and temple motifs in the textile work and a deliberate embrace of traditional jewellery.

Decor came from WedMeGood’s Instagram post of February 28 and was summarized by Hindustan Times as a “breathtaking celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and understated grandeur.” WedMeGood framed a bridal portrait inside an “intricately carved ivory wooden palki-like pavilion, reminiscent of a royal jharokha,” with scalloped arches and deep red flooring; Hindustan Times added brass artefact corners, filigree lamps and an earthy terracotta and rich crimson palette, quoting that “Every corner felt intentional - layered with culture, symbolism and old-world charm - creating a wedding atmosphere that was intimate, sacred and visually resplendent.”

The couple shared images on their Instagram handle, and Hindustan Times referenced a Comscore tracker claim that the event produced “India's most liked Instagram photo, beats Kohli's World Cup triumph.” For credits and provenance, Vogue In names ITC Mementos, Udaipur as the venue, Shree Jewellers supplied the temple pieces, Ami Patel styled Deverakonda, Anamika Khanna made the sari, and WedMeGood captured and published the detailed decor imagery. The wedding closed as a deliberate fusion of Kodava ritual draping, temple-silk craft and palace-era props, staged in Udaipur and documented across the couple’s and the planners’ social posts.
