For the reception, Rashmika Mandanna embodied a gilded narrative. Her look unfolded as an opulent, high-ornament tableau where sculpture, symbolism and couture converged.
Envisioned by Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar, Managing Directors, SHREE Jewellers, Rashmika’s jewellery featured a monumental statement necklace, a commanding oddiyanam, dramatic earrings, lotus-lined bangles and a coordinating haath phool, each piece conceived not as an accessory, but as architecture in motion.
Rashmika: A Canvas of Peacocks, Fountains and Royal Heritage
Rooted in the iconography of the peacock and the legendary Gandabherunda, the two-headed mythological bird and royal insignia of the Wadiyars of Mysore, the design stood as a deliberate tribute to her cultural lineage.
The Gandabherunda Motif
The Gandabherunda motif, drawn from the visual memory of Rashmika’s homeland, was not confined to the jewellery alone, it echoed seamlessly within the textile narrative of her outfit, where its symmetrical wings and regal stance were mirrored in woven and embroidered accents.

Peacock Fountain Necklace
At the epicentre stood the Peacock Fountain necklace, a spectacular feat of dimensional Nakshi artistry. Sculpted peacocks arched protectively around a cascading fountain form, symbolising abundance and sovereignty. Cascading tiers of gold droplets created a kinetic, water-like illusion, allowing the piece to shimmer with every movement. Emeralds and customised Burma rubies, sourced from her native region and set in luminous Kundan, were embedded like royal flora, intensifying the depth and chromatic richness of the composition.
The Oddiyanam
The oddiyanam (gold waist belt) extended this sculptural grandeur along the waistline with its sweeping contours inspired by the Gandabherunda. Powerful yet fluid, it defined the silhouette without rigidity, reinforcing both strength and grace.
The earrings carried ornate finials that mirrored the avian insignia, while the bangles rendered in Kundan with lotus motifs and ruby accents introduced cadence and glow at the wrists. The haathphool concluded the narrative at the hands, ensuring that every gesture echoed the same vocabulary of heritage and majesty.
Abhishek Agarwal and Kaushik Kumar, Managing Directors, SHREE Jewellers:
“What makes Rashmika’s reception jewellery special is that it is not a collection of separate ornaments, but a unified story. The design draws deeply from the peacock and the legendary Gandabherunda, the two-headed mythological bird and royal insignia of Mysore, creating a direct and personal tribute to her roots. The Peacock Fountain motif symbolises abundance and continuity, while lotus elements woven into the framework add serenity and spiritual grace. The antique gold finish and Kundan setting give the pieces a soft, inner luminescence rather than sharp brilliance, reinforcing the heritage aesthetic.”
