Our Story
How it began
Meera and Arjun met over a plate of pani puri at a monsoon-soaked Mumbai food stall, introduced by a sister who swore they'd never get along. Six years, countless road trips and one very persistent golden retriever later, Arjun proposed at sunrise on a Udaipur rooftop, the City Palace glowing gold behind them. Now they're returning to the city that started their forever — to say their vows beneath a flower-laden mandap by Lake Pichola, surrounded by everyone they love. Come celebrate the beginning of the rest of their lives.

Questions
When and where is the wedding?
The wedding weekend runs Dec 12–15, 2026 at The Leela Palace Udaipur, on the shores of Lake Pichola. The main ceremony is on Sunday, Dec 14 at 6:30 PM at the Lakeside Mandap.
What should I wear?
Traditional Indian festive wear is encouraged and always welcome. Each event has its own vibe — bright florals for Mehendi, yellows for Haldi, and your regal best (jewel tones, sherwanis, lehengas) for the ceremony and reception.
Will events be indoors or outdoors?
A mix of both. Haldi and the ceremony are outdoors by the pool and lake, so bring a light shawl for the December evenings, which can get cool in Udaipur.
Can I bring a plus-one or children?
Please refer to your invitation for named guests. We love your little ones — children are welcome at all events, and a supervised kids' corner will be set up during the ceremony and reception.
Is transport provided between the airport and venue?
Yes. We'll arrange shuttle pickups from Maharana Pratap Airport (Udaipur) on Dec 12 and for departures on Dec 16. Share your travel details in your RSVP so we can coordinate.
Are the events vegetarian?
The Mehendi, Haldi and ceremony feasts are fully vegetarian. The Sangeet and Reception offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus, with Jain and vegan options available on request.
Will you join us?
