Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala tied the knot on December 4 at Annapurna Studios. Several videos and pictures from their traditional South Indian wedding went viral on social media. A day after their wedding on December 6, the newlyweds made their first public appearance as husband and wife. The couple visited Sri Bhramarambika Sametha Mallikarjuna Swamy Devasthanam, also known as Srisailam Temple, in Andhra Pradesh to seek blessings.
A video shared by the paparazzi account shows newlywed Sobhita radiating joy as she walks with Naga Chaitanya and father-in-law Nagarjuna.
As the paparazzi walked alongside the newlyweds, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita looked at him and smiled. The paps greeted Chaitanya and said, "Hi sir."
For the temple darshan, Sobhita looked stunning in a yellow cotton saree; she kept her hair open. Chaitanya opted for an ivory traditional outfit, and Nagarjuna opted for a pink kurta and blue denims.
The trio were seen walking barefoot and radiating smiles. Needless to say, the couple beamed with joy.
Another set of pictures has surfaced on social media, which is primarily after the darshan at Srisailam Temple
Naga Chaitanya wore an orange shawl after blessings at Srisailam temple. Nagarjuna also opts for a veshti during the temple visit after the couple's wedding and wraps a similar orange shawl around his shoulders.
Apart from several videos, an unseen post-wedding ritual has gone viral, in which the couple play the ring-fetching game.
In the viral video shared by one of the fan clubs, Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala were playfully competing to find a ring from a milk pot.
