It
had
all
the
trappings
of
tradition
and
ceremony
with
a
fort
as
the
perfect
setting.
The
Ram
Charan-Upasana
wedding
went
into
an
overdrive
with
a
traditional
ceremony
at
the
century
old
family
fort
of
the
bride
at
Domakonda
in
Nizamabad
district,
about
100
Kms
north
of
Hyderabad.
The
morning
at
Domakonda
started
with
Upasana
doing
her
puja
with
her
parents
Anil
and
Shobana
Kamineni
at
the
Kakatiyan
era
Shiva
temple
and
was
soon
joined
by
Ram
Charan
and
his
dad
Chiranjeevi.
She
gifted
sarees
to
the
women
of
the
village,
a
tradition
that
the
family
has
been
following
for
generations.
From
there,
the
congregation
moved
to
the
fort
proper,
where
a
small
ceremony
was
followed
by
a
traditional
procession,
was
held
with
Upasana
walking
along
with
a
pathway
of
sarees
till
the
entrance
of
the
fort
and
later
sought
the
blessings
at
the
Pochamma
temple.
The
entire
population
turned
up
for
the
ceremony
and
the
village
elders
took
the
lead
in
conducting
the
various
aspects
of
what
was
truly
a
memorable
day.
