Navaratna Talambralu

This is a much-loved wedding ritual enjoyed not only by the newly married couple but also by the guests, who cheer them on. ‘Talambralu’ refers to rice grains mixed with turmeric powder and saffron, along with other decorative elements like flower petals, pearls, and colorful beads, depending on preference. In this, the couple sit facing each other and begin by pouring ‘talambralu’ over each other’s head like a shower, taking turns. As the ritual continues, friends and relatives encourage them to compete while pouring the mixture over each other. Shop exclusive talambralu items.
