Wedding Season Returns to Telugu States: Auspicious Dates & Soaring Costs

• After a three-month hiatus due to inauspicious periods (Moudhyam and Shukra Moudhyami), wedding season has resumed in Telugu states.
• Auspicious dates in February include 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, and 26, with February 21 expected to see the highest number of weddings.
• Priests, wedding planners, and caterers are fully booked through July, with advance bookings already made across the Telugu states.
• The high demand has led to a significant increase in wedding expenses, with function hall rents and priest fees skyrocketing.
• Rising gold prices, with a tola nearing Rs. 1.5 lakhs, add to the financial burden, causing dilemma for middle-class families.
