One
of
the
most
anticipated
weddings
of
the
year
-
The
Ram
Charan-Upasana
Kamineni
wedding
was
expected
to
be
a
star
studded
wedding,
and
it
literally
was.
The
Temple
Tree
farmhouse
of
the
Kamineni
family
located
on
the
outskirts
of
Hyderabad
was
teeming
with
cars
of
every
genre
as
guests
arrived
well
before
the
appointed
time.
The
coy
bride
dressed
in
a
Tarun
Tahiliani
special
followed
Ram
Charan
who
walked
in
a
flower
decked
canopy
to
specially
designed
hall
to
accompaniment
of
the
traditional
nadaswaram.
The
high
profile
wedding
was
graced
by
the
who
is
who
of
the
politics
and
tinsel
town.

Bachchan,
Superstar
Rajnikanth,
Ambareesh,
Venkatesh,
Mohan
Babu,
Sridevi
and
almost
the
entire
Tollywood

the

ceremony
and
showered
their
blessings
on
Ram
Charan
and
Upasana.
The

Chief

N
Kiran
Kumar
Reddy,

of
business
we
spotted

of
others.
Telugu
news
channels
were
running
a
live
feed
of
the
VIP
arrivals
and
right
through
the
wedding.
The
three
hour
wedding
ceremony
conducted
in
traditional
Telugu
style
with
priests
chanting
mantras
and
the
bride
and
the
groom
smearing
the
Jeelakarra
Bellam
and
Madhuparkam
followed
by
the
other
ceremonies
including
the
grand
finale
-
The
tying
of
the
mangalsutra
and
Saptapadi,
the
seven
steps
that
the
bride
and
groom
took
around
the
fire.
The
high

wedding
which
began
four
days
ago
with

was
interspersed
with
sangeet,

Hyderabad
will
have
to
wait
for
a
while
for

on
this
scale
of
pomp
and
pageantry.
