A look at Allu Sirish's unique mehendi design

In a series of stunning pictures shared by Nayanika on March 7 on Instagram, Allu’s hands were seen adorned with intricate Mehendi, instantly catching the attention of fans and followers. Departing from conventional floral patterns, the groom’s Mehendi showcased the ‘shanku-chakram’, a set of deeply symbolic motifs inspired by Vedic traditions and South Indian devotion.

The design is distinguished by three bold symbols. On the left is the Sudarshana Chakra, a circular, wheel-like motif representing the divine weapon of Lord Vishnu, symbolising protection and the restoration of order. The central and largest motif is the Namam or Tilak, a stylised U-shape with a vertical mark that signifies a devotee’s spiritual identity. On the right, the Shankha (Conch), a spiral design resembling a conch shell, serves as a sacred emblem used in rituals to mark spiritual beginnings, while symbolising longevity and prosperity.

What the groom and bride wore

The couple’s wedding attire is a stunning display of traditional elegance and meticulous detail. Allu wore an off-white silk sherwani featuring intricate gold embroidery along the placket and collar, paired with a matching dupatta draped over one shoulder. His look was completed with a delicate gold chain headpiece featuring a small, ornate pendant at the centre of the forehead.

Nayanika stuns in a shimmering mauve-toned saree, heavily embellished with silver and gold zardozi work. She was adorned with layered diamond and ruby necklaces, matching statement earrings, and a stack of silver bangles that caught the light beautifully. With blushed cheeks, bold lips and her hair tied in a bun, she looks gorgeous.
