The wedding of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda has taken over the internet. Fans are not just talking about the star couple tying the knot. They are also discussing the unique theme of the ceremony.
Instead of choosing a glamorous, modern Bollywood-style wedding, the couple went for a “Periodic Era” concept inspired by ancient India. The ceremony took place on February 26, 2026, at ITC Mementos Ekaaya in Udaipur. The setting felt like a step back into the 19th century.
The décor focused on earthy colours and spiritual details. The venue featured terracotta pillars, clay pots and Vedic-style architecture. Sanskrit mantras were woven into fabrics and carved into wooden panels. Overall, the atmosphere felt calm, traditional and grand.
Rashmika Mandanna Vijay Deverakonda Wedding Theme
The Rashmika Mandanna Vijay Deverakonda wedding was not only about visual beauty. It also honoured their family traditions.
Rashmika paid tribute to her Kodava roots by wearing a traditional Coorg-style saree drape and ceremonial jewellery. Vijay followed Telugu wedding customs, including the Jeelakarra Bellam ritual, performed under marigolds and brass bells.
Both stars wore heritage-inspired outfits designed by Anamika Khanna. Rashmika chose a rust-coloured silk saree with a red border and a veil embroidered with the words “in every lifetime.” Vijay wore an ivory pattu pancha, keeping his look simple and elegant.
Fans, who lovingly call the couple “VIROSH,” praised the timeless feel of the wedding. However, social media soon started a new debate.
Netizens React To ‘Periodic Era’ Setup
After the wedding photos went viral, Reddit users shared mixed reactions. Some admired the artistic decor and traditional vibe. One wrote, “Now that I look at it, this one somehow looks more luxe than Ambani wedding tbh.”
Another commented, “Ambanis tried…. but this right here is real art.”
However, others questioned whether the theme was linked to their upcoming film, Ranabaali, which is set in the 1800s. A user asked, “So their wedding was a promotion for their upcoming movie?”
Another shared, “His upcoming film is a periodic film and he chose that theme. More of subtle promotional tactics.”

One more added, “Crazy way to promote their movie.”
Many noticed that the wedding colours (ivory and rust-red) matched the era shown in Ranabaali. This connection made some believe the theme may have doubled as a subtle promotional move. Still, the couple has not confirmed any such intention.
Rashmika Mandanna-Vijay Deverakonda To Distribute Food And Sweets Across India
Apart from the theme discussion, the newlyweds also made headlines for their kind gesture. On March 1, 2026, they announced a nationwide Annadanam initiative. They arranged food donations at several temples across India to celebrate their wedding.
In a joint social media post, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda said that they wanted to share their happiness with the public, who have always supported them. Trucks filled with sweets were also sent to cities including Hyderabad.
