Talambralu - After tying the mangal sutra on the bride, the bride and groom shower one another with "talambralu", which is rice mixed with saffron & turmeric. This denotes the couple’s desire for happiness, enjoyment and contentment. Initially they take turns to shower the rice, but as time progresses the bride and groom begin to compete with each other, making for entertaining photos. #telugu #wedding #traditions #andhra #pradesh
