The magnificent palace is the most suitable choice for a wedding in Jodhpur. Umaid Bhavan Palace offers outstanding hospitality along with unforgettable dining experiences. It seemed like a royal wedding indeed!

The green lawns, magnificent forts, bustling hamlets make Jodhpur the most popular tourist destination. Apart from the rich architectural styles & culture, the state is also known for its lavish weddings.  

A chunk of actors got hitched to tie a nuptial bond in heritage venues in Rajasthan. Recently Bollywood stars Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani tied the knot in Jaisalmer. They chose the Suryagarh fortress in Jaisalmer. In the Thar Desert, the splendid hotel was decorated to resemble a 17th-century palace and is known for hosting opulent weddings.

Another biggest Bollywood wedding was that of gorgeous Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal, who entered into holy matrimony at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Sawai in Madhopur district. The splendid wedding was the highlight of the year.

What more to explore if you are in the city of Palaces?

Several kingdoms have ruled this royal land since the 12th century. The remarkable structures, temples and gardens still give you that traditional royal feeling. Exploring these ancient structures will make you feel like a time warp.

Tourists visiting Jodhpur can take the royal elephant ride at the Amer Palace. The Blue City of Jodhpur adds a splendid view from the top of Mehrangarh Fort. You can witness the marvelous landscape of the 12th-century Jaisalmer Fort or be awestruck when you see the fortification wall of the Kumbhalgarh Fort.
