The high-profile wedding at Jagmandir on Sunday—set like a jewel in the middle of Lake Pichola—became the talk of not just Rajasthan but all of North India. Netra Mantena, daughter of American billionaire businessman Ramaraju Mantena, married American-born Vamsi Gadiraju in a ceremony that blended regal Rajasthani splendour with global glamour.
The bride made a striking entrance in a red lehenga, while the groom arrived in a golden sherwani, embracing an elegant Rajputana look. Decorated boats ferried guests from the Lake Palace and The Leela Palace to Jagmandir, which glowed under thousands of lights, flowers, and traditional Rajasthani artworks. The island palace, transformed into a fairytale setting, radiated heritage charm. The temple near the main mandap was also adorned with special decorations for the occasion.
As dusk settled, both Jagmandir and the City Palace lit up in a spectacular play of colours. The celebrations soared further at the grand reception at The Leela Palace, where Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez delivered a power-packed performance. Globally acclaimed DJ Black Coffee, who flew in from South Africa exclusively for the wedding, added an international flavour to the night with his signature beats.
The event drew an eclectic mix of Hollywood, Bollywood, and business-world personalities. Social media buzzed as celebrated names from films and fashion mingled with top industrialists, all soaking in the Mewari grandeur.
Security arrangements were as extraordinary as the guest list. Over 300 personnel, multiple CCTV cameras, and specialised surveillance teams were deployed to ensure seamless management throughout the festivities.
Among the star attendees, the most talked-about guest was US President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. Arriving with his girlfriend and dressed in a pristine white Jodhpuri suit, he embraced the local Rajputana aesthetic. His grand entry instantly became a social media sensation, with photos from the venue going viral within minutes.
From the flower-canopied bridal entry to the varmala ceremony set to traditional Rajasthani folk music and a live violin ensemble, every element of Netra and Vamsi’s wedding celebrated Rajasthan’s majestic heritage—elevated by a global touch. On a chilly Udaipur night, Jagmandir truly turned into a palace of love, marking one of the most memorable—and talked-about—weddings of 2025.
