The couple showers one another with rice mixed with pearls, turmeric, saffron, and other blessings in a tradition known as the “Talambralu”, or "ritual of happiness." The “Talambralu” transcends its playful traits to emerge as a profound expression of the hopes and ambitions that link the couple together. It is rooted in the rich cultural legacy of the couple's community.

Every grain of rice represents fertility and sustenance and expresses a desire for a life filled with plenty and food. The colors of saffron and turmeric represent the promise of a journey that will be brightened by the warmth of love. This happy cascade includes pearls, a representation of purity and eternal beauty, highlighting the couple's desire for a life filled with values and priceless moments.

Beyond its symbolic meaning, the “Talambralu” is a monument to the couple's shared laughter and solidarity. This period of humor offers a break from the controlled seriousness of the wedding ceremony, a treasured time when the couple may joyfully acknowledge each other's presence. It serves as a gentle reminder that marriage is about more than just solemn vows and holy rites. It's also about companionship and shared joy that thrives on both the serious and the fun.
