What is the Kodava tradition in which Rashmika and Vijay will be tying the knot for the second time?
The couple's culture is a blend of two traditions. While Vijay and Rashmika's wedding was held in the morning as per Vijay's side of Andhra's customs. But Rashmika's Kodava heritage from Coorg is in a unique union as well. But how is it different from other wedding rituals?
The Kodava wedding originated from the Kodava community from the Kodagu district, also known as Coorg. The wedding day begins with the ceremonial bath in which the turmeric, oil and holy water are applied to the bride and groom by elders. Then it is accompanied by traditional songs which purify and prepare the couple for married life. Followed by garland exchange and tying of mangalya (sacred thread).
For Kodava people, marriage is all about partnership and sharing. The aruva lists out the properties in which the bride has been given rights. Though not that big of a matter, it is done to denote that the bride has a right over everything.

“May the days, months and years to come be filled with shared dreams and their fulfilment. With thoughtfulness and love, may they share responsibilities, embrace each other's imperfections, learn from each other's strengths and journey through life as true partners,” the Prime Minister's letter stated.
