Thalambralu

The Hindu culture sings praises of matrimony and Talambralu is an essential part of the Telugu traditions celebrated during a wedding. The ritual is marked by the couple exchanging garlands, in a sweet display of devotion and love towards each other. The garlands serve as a symbol of auspiciousness and are seen as an omen of a promising and blissful married life. Sprinkled over the garlands are pearls and a mixture of saffron and turmeric, said to bring good fortune and prosperity to the couple’s future. Talambralu encapsulates the mutual understanding and the strong love that will carry the couple through their married life. Not only is this ritual resonant of happiness and blessings, but each sacred gesture reminds us of the importance of marriage.
