What is a Billy Kothuru concert?
the Billy Kothuru The ceremony is a cherished Telugu pre-wedding ritual, celebrating the bride as she transitions into married life. The event literally translates to “bride ritual,” and focuses on blessings, purification, and then the sharing of haldi.
Usha Sri, a born and brought up Telugu from Hyderabad, explained that Billy Kothuru’s ceremony is the last ceremony before the wedding. “The bride and groom, who are going to have pili kuduku, do not leave the house before tying the knot to stay safe from ‘buri nazar’.”
In Beli Kothuru, the bride’s relatives give her gifts such as clothes, sweets and gold jewellery. They also put haldi on it. This is not the same as the haldi ceremony, which is actually called ‘mangalasanam’.
“After that, the bride is considered Parvati, while the groom is considered Shiva,” Sri said.

Steering away from contemporary pre-wedding trends, Sobhita embraced her cultural roots. Earlier in October, she held the Guduma Rai Basupo Danchadam (turmeric crushing) ceremony, marking the start of wedding preparations. This was followed by raata sthaapana and mangalasnanam, a traditional ritual similar to a haldi ceremony, leading to the pelli kuthuru event.
While most weddings today blend traditional and modern ceremonies, Sobhita’s choice to honor Telugu customs has struck a chord with her fans, sparking excitement for her upcoming nuptials with Naga Chaitanya, her fiancé of two years.
