The pre-wedding celebrations of Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have officially begun in Udaipur, setting the tone for what is being described as an intimate yet thoughtfully curated affair. Branded as “The Wedding of VIROSH” — a nod to the couple name lovingly coined by fans — the festivities commenced on February 23, 2026, at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur, a secluded luxury property nestled amid the Aravalli hills.
Vijay Deverakonda – Rashmika Mandanna kick off Udaipur wedding festivities with poolside fun, Japanese soirée & VIROSH Premier League
The couple had announced their wedding on February 22 through a joint note dedicated to fans who popularised the moniker “VIROSH.” Since then, glimpses of the celebrations have surfaced gradually on social media, despite a strict no-phone policy reportedly in place to maintain privacy.
Poolside moments with a scenic backdrop
The celebrations began on a relaxed, high-energy note with poolside activities at the resort. Vijay shared snapshots of a spirited volleyball game in the pool, with friends joining in against the picturesque mountain backdrop. The mood appeared casual and celebratory, capturing a break from the formalities typically associated with wedding functions.
Another highlight was a floating drink station set up in the pool, complete with red cups and a laid-back party vibe. The décor and setup reflected a balance between luxury and comfort, allowing guests to unwind while enjoying the scenic surroundings.
An elegant Japanese-Inspired dinner
Adding a refined touch to the festivities, Rashmika offered a glimpse into an exquisitely curated Japanese-inspired dinner hosted for close friends and family. The dinner setting featured a tastefully arranged tablescape with blush pink lilies, green hydrangeas, and accents of fresh green apples and grapes.
Custom embroidered napkins bearing the “VIROSH” branding were placed thoughtfully at each setting, while warm golden lighting enhanced the intimate ambience. A bespoke menu curated for the evening highlighted the couple’s attention to detail and preference for personalised experiences throughout the celebrations.
VIROSH Premier League brings a sporty twist
Following the relaxed pool time and elegant dinner, the couple added a playful twist to the festivities with the VIROSH Premier League — a themed cricket match organised for close friends and family.
Vijay’s Instagram Stories revealed customised cricket memorabilia displayed on manicured lawns. A miniature cream-coloured bat engraved with “VIROSH” and the wedding date 26.02.26 became one of the most talked-about details from the event. Small triangular pennant flags in earthy tones carried the league’s branding, while themed match accessories and medals stamped with the same date added a commemorative touch.
Sources indicate that guests were divided into teams for a friendly tournament, turning the gathering into a light-hearted league filled with playful competition. A blurry yet viral image of guests in a huddle during the field games has already made its way across social media, further fuelling excitement around the wedding. The date 26.02.26, prominently featured across the memorabilia, has been widely associated with the couple’s upcoming nuptials.
Traditional Wedding & Hyderabad Reception Ahead
While Vijay and Rashmika have not formally shared the complete wedding schedule, it is understood that the ceremony will follow a traditional South Indian format, with food reportedly served on banana leaves in keeping with their rooted customs.
Post the Udaipur celebrations, the couple is expected to host a grand reception in Hyderabad, reportedly at Taj Banjara, on March 4.
As anticipation builds around the main ceremony, the thoughtfully planned pre-wedding events — from poolside camaraderie and curated dining to a fully branded cricket league — have already become some of the most talked-about moments of the season.
