Rajasthan has quietly yet unmistakably become India’s reigning capital of celebrity weddings, drawing some of the biggest names in Bollywood and beyond. With its grand palaces, centuries-old forts, and unmatched royal ambience, the state has transformed into the country’s most sought-after backdrop for luxury nuptials.
Over the last decade, a striking pattern has emerged: when celebrities want a wedding that feels larger than life, they look to Rajasthan.
A royal trend led by Bollywood’s biggest couples
The wave began with iconic celebrations like Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ fairytale wedding at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur, a venue often counted among the world’s most opulent palace hotels. Then came the serene yet grand ceremonies of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal at the Six Senses Fort Barwara, Sawai Madhopur, a 700-year-old fort restored with modern luxury while keeping its heritage intact.
The momentum only grew stronger when Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra sealed their love at the mystical Suryagarh Palace, Jaisalmer, a venue known as the ‘Gateway to Thar’, blending desert charm with regal splendour.
Udaipur, meanwhile, continues to remain a hotspot. From Raveena Tandon and Anil Thadani at the breathtaking Jag Mandir Palace, to Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha at the majestic Leela Palace, the lake city hosts weddings that look straight out of a royal chronicle.
Even earlier, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Rukmini Sahay’s wedding at Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Spa, Udaipur set social media abuzz, signalling Rajasthan’s rise as a top celebrity wedding hub.
More stars, more forts, more majesty
Adding to Rajasthan’s growing global spotlight, the recent wedding celebrations of Netra Mantena and tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in Udaipur further reinforced the state’s unmatched pull. The festivities drew international attention when Jennifer Lopez delivered a show-stopping performance at their reception.
From haldi and mehendi ceremonies at the ethereal Taj Lake Palace to the wedding set against the stunning backdrop of Jagmandir Island Palace, the event once again proved why Rajasthan stands unrivalled as the world’s most desirable royal wedding destination.
Why celebrities can’t resist Rajasthan
It’s not just the grandeur. Rajasthan offers privacy, exclusive experiences, heritage charm, and picturesque landscapes. Every palace becomes a stage, every courtyard a memory, every view a cinematic shot. For couples seeking a royal beginning, one truth is clear:
Rajasthan doesn’t just host weddings, it creates legacies.
