As per the report, they married at the Ranganatha Swamy temple mandapam in Srirangapur, Wanaparthy district in Telangana. Aditi's maternal grandfather was the last ruler of the Wanaparthy Samsthanam, so her family has a long connection with the temple. The wedding reportedly took place as per Hindu rituals performed by priests from Tamil Nadu, Siddharth's home state. So their wedding was a mix of their respective legacies, cultures, and beliefs. But this is not the first time that our beloved celebrities have traditionally chosen to get married in a temple.
