Visakhapatnam

Chirag Parmar Signatures designs bespoke wedding menswear for grooms in Visakhapatnam, a coastal city whose weddings combine Telugu ceremonial tradition with the contemporary tastes of a large professional and industrial community.

Telugu weddings run long, with a sequence of ceremonies including the Pellikoduku and a Muhurtham that is often held at an inconvenient hour dictated by the almanac rather than by comfort. Vizag adds coastal humidity to that. The practical consequence is that ceremonial garments here get worn for extended stretches in demanding conditions, so we prioritise breathability and recovery in fabric choice far more than we would for an inland Hyderabad wedding.

Vizag is the furthest coastal city we regularly serve and is best reached by air. We complete design, fabric selection, and embroidery decisions over video with couriered swatches, then use one Bengaluru studio visit for measurement and fitting. For clients who cannot travel at all, we can ship a basted trial garment to verify fit before final construction.

What should a groom wear for the Pellikoduku ceremony?

A traditional silk kurta set or a dhoti-and-angavastram combination in keeping with family custom is standard for the Pellikoduku, the ceremony marking the groom’s transition before the wedding. It is a daytime household ritual, so breathable pure silk and a comfortable, unrestrictive cut matter more than embellishment.

Can you make a garment if I cannot travel to Bengaluru at all?

Yes. For clients who genuinely cannot travel, we take detailed guided measurements over video, then construct and ship a basted trial garment, a partly assembled version, so fit can be verified and corrected before the final garment is cut. This adds time to the schedule, so it needs to start earlier than a standard commission.
