Samantha Ruth Prabhu has shared glimpses of a traditional Kalaa Aavarana (Sri Kalpam) ceremony held for her as she prepares for motherhood. The actress posted pictures and videos on Instagram showing the ritual at what sources describe as a spiritual ashram, with her husband Raj Nidimoru and close friend Shilpa Reddy present.
The ceremony, rooted in the Srividya tradition, involved chanting mantras and offerings to bless the mother and child. Samantha said she went in knowing little but came away feeling deeply blessed and protected. Times Now reports the ceremony honours the 94 kalas of Devi and cleanses the seven chakras of the mother-to-be. Greatandhra adds that after the abhishekam, Samantha was seated at the centre of the Sri Chakra Yantram.
Samantha married Raj Nidimoru in December 2025 and announced her pregnancy in June 2026. The couple is expecting their first child later this year.
