Just days after breaking the internet with their highly guarded, fairytale destination wedding in Udaipur, Tollywood’s most beloved power couple has made their first official public appearance as husband and wife.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna arrived at the sacred Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala, Tirupati, early this morning to seek divine blessings for their new journey together. As expected, the moment they stepped out of the VIP Darshan complex, fans and paparazzi went into an absolute frenzy.
Within minutes, videos and photos of the newlyweds offering prayers flooded social media, making the hashtag #ViroshAtTirupati the top trend nationwide. From their breathtaking traditional attire to the massive fan reception, here is the complete breakdown of their spiritual visit today.
The Viral Video: Pure Traditional Elegance
Stepping away from the heavy designer couture of their Rajasthan wedding, the couple embraced absolute simplicity and deep-rooted tradition for their temple visit.
- Rashmika’s Bridal Glow: The Pushpa actress looked utterly radiant in a classic, heavy Kanjeevaram silk saree in vibrant hues of vermilion and gold. Keeping her makeup minimal, she proudly sported her newly wedded glow, complete with traditional gold temple jewelry, a prominent sindoor (vermilion), and her mangalsutra.
- Vijay’s Classic Avatar: Complementing his bride perfectly, Vijay Deverakonda looked deeply respectful and dashing in a traditional pristine white pancha (veshti) and kanduva draped over his shoulder.
- The Viral Moment: The video currently taking over X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram shows Vijay Deverakonda holding Rashmika’s hand protectively as they navigate through the massive sea of fans and heavy security outside the temple. In a heartwarming gesture, the couple paused briefly before getting into their vehicle, smiling brightly, folding their hands in a Namaskaram, and thanking the cheering crowd for their blessings.
The Significance of the Tirupati Visit
For newly married couples in South India, particularly in the Telugu-speaking states, visiting the Tirupati Balaji temple immediately after the wedding is considered a vital and highly auspicious tradition.
Despite having a lavish destination wedding in North India (Udaipur), Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika made it a priority to fly back south directly to Tirupati before heading home. This deeply grounded move has won massive praise from fans and cultural commentators alike, proving that beneath their pan-India superstardom, they remain incredibly rooted in their family traditions.
VIP Darshan and Temple Honors
Given their massive celebrity status, the couple was facilitated with a VIP break darshan early on Sunday morning. Following their prayers to Lord Venkateswara, the couple was escorted to the Ranganayakula Mandapam inside the temple complex. There, the temple priests bestowed Vedic blessings (Vedasirvachanam) upon the newlyweds and presented them with the traditional silk cloth (Sesha Vastram) and the sacred laddu prasadam.
Next Stop: The Grand Hyderabad Reception
With the Udaipur wedding rituals and the Tirupati blessings now complete, the couple is officially heading back to Hyderabad to prepare for the grand finale of their wedding festivities.
- The Industry Bash: The “VIROSH” celebrations will conclude with a massive, star-studded wedding reception on March 4, 2026, at the luxurious Taj Krishna in Hyderabad.
- The Guest List: Unlike the intimate 100-person guest list in Rajasthan, the Hyderabad reception is expected to host the absolute “Who’s Who” of the Indian film industry. Megastars from Tollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood, along with top politicians and business tycoons, are expected to walk the red carpet to congratulate the couple.
