Rajasthan · The Pink City, Amer and the Aravalli forts
Jaipur destination weddings
Forts, palace hotels and the colour of the Pink City.
Updated Kalyan Co Planning TeamReviewed by Mefas Fransis
A Jaipur wedding pairs palace hotels and hill forts with Rajasthan’s colour, music and craft. It is closer to Delhi than any other palace city, which keeps travel simple. The season runs from October to March. For 150 guests over three days, expect roughly ₹57.1 lakh–₹1.35 crore (about US$60,000–142,000).
Jaipur is Rajasthan’s capital and its most accessible palace city: a short hop from Delhi, with palace hotels, havelis and forts on the ridges around the city.
Weddings here are unapologetically colourful: block-printed tents, marigold canopies, folk dancers and a baraat that can include a decorated vintage car.
