Prabhas looked incredible. Goodness what figure. Couldn't take my eyes off him. And his smile. Though I'll maintain that BB has made the most beautiful use of his smile. But mirchi really stands as a good movie. Actually Bahubali katappa and devasena really make an awesome triplet.

That is true. The family of an unmarried daughter would never send her away with a man without some form of engagement. For example, back in those days, there were swayamvars, which were nothing but engagements. When a princess garlanded the groom of her choice, she was promising to marry him and he was promising to marry her, so groom's parents' consent was not needed for an engagement. When it came time for the wedding, unless the groom's family had a valid reason for breaking the engagement, they were required to accept their son's bride. In Vedic marriages back in that era, only the bride's family's consent was required for marriage, not the groom's family. So Amarendra would be well within his right to be betrothed to Devasena without his mother's consent, especially since he was so confident that his mother would accept Devasena happily.

@bold,

There are no such things as engagement rings in Hindu vedic marriages, especially in that era. The concept of engagement rings came from the western society, particularly from the British when they occupied India. In Hindu engagement ceremonies, or nichitaardam as it's called in telugu, both sides of family exchange tamboolam consisting of new clothing, flowers, fruits, and if the family is wealthy, also gold. The groom's side gifts the bride with a new saree which she'll wear to the ceremony, and the bride's side gifts the groom with a new dhoti which he'll also wear to the ceremony. After tamboolam is exchanged, the couple is considered betrothed.

The ring in Hamsa Naava is probably a typical adornment of a princess.

Devasena is a smart woman, she can't fall for their foolish Moddhu plans. I love how she played along with them :)
