Simple, Spiritual Feast: Samantha & Raj Nidimoru’ Satvik Wedding Menu

New Delhi, December 02, 2025: In a world of extravagant celebrity weddings, actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu and filmmaker Raj Nidimoru chose a path of beautiful simplicity, not only in their intimate ceremony but also in their choice of wedding feast. The couple recently tied the knot at the serene Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, and the menu served to their close-knit group of guests was a clear reflection of the spiritual setting: simple, pure Satvik food, with not a plate of pasta or chaat in sight.

The Venue and The Vows

The wedding itself was a deeply spiritual affair, known as a ‘Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha,’ performed at the abode of Linga Bhairavi Devi within the Isha Yoga Centre. This ritual is rooted in an ancient yogic tradition focused on uniting the couple on an elemental and foundational level. With only about 30 guests, including family and close friends like designer Shilpa Reddy, the focus was entirely on the purity of the union rather than any grand spectacle. Samantha’s choice of a traditional red silk saree and Raj’s simple kurta-pajama added to the understated elegance.

A Meal of Purity and Wellness

The food served to the guests perfectly matched the spiritual atmosphere. Far from the lavish, multi-cuisine buffets often seen at high-profile events, the couple opted for a completely vegetarian and Satvik meal. Satvik food is a pillar of yogic philosophy, emphasizing fresh, clean, and seasonal ingredients prepared in a simple manner, free from excessive spices, onion, and garlic. The goal is to nourish the body and calm the mind.

Inside pictures shared by their friend Shilpa Reddy gave a delightful glimpse into the simple yet wholesome spread. The food was traditionally served on a steel plate covered with a banana leaf, a quintessential South Indian way of eating that highlights the freshness of the meal.

• What was on the menu? The plates featured a traditional South Indian vegetarian thali (platter). Guests were served soft rice and comforting dal (lentils).
• Fresh and Light: A fresh cucumber salad offered a cooling element.
• Nutrient-Rich Dishes: There were simple vegetable preparations, including one made from bottle gourd and lentils (sabji).
• Regional Specialties: The thali also included a crisp vada (a savory fritter) and ragi mudde (a nutritious ball made from finger millet), a staple in Southern Indian cuisine.
• A Sweet Ending: To complete the meal, a traditional Tamil Nadu-special purple rice sweet was served.

This choice of menu underscores Samantha’s personal commitment to health and mindful living, a journey she has shared with her fans. The decision to forgo popular wedding staples like Italian pasta or North Indian chaat for this nourishing, traditional feast is a powerful statement about prioritizing wellness and spiritual alignment on their most important day.

The intimate and grounded celebration, highlighted by its pure Satvik menu, has resonated deeply with fans, proving that sometimes, the simplest things are the most meaningful.
