Royal Wedding in Jodhpur

Visit a dream royal wedding in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India and enjoy a special cultural experience with the Mehrangarh Fort looming in the backdrop.

The land of the Rathores, Jodhpur glows with regal traditions of lavish weddings and ethnic customs. Royal wedding preparations in Jodhpur begin much in advance of the main ceremony.

The "Tilak ceremony" is considered to be an important event that is organized a few days before the wedding that is followed by the "Pili Chitthi ceremony" that is considered to be a royal seal that confirms the wedding.

The Pili Chitti is an ornate letter with a picture of Lord Ganesha that is dabbed with kumkum and turmeric.

The "Mandap Aarohan" is integral to a Jodhpur royal wedding. This ritual begins a week before the wedding and the brides' male relatives join hands to erect a large canopied ornate mandap where the actual wedding rites are performed.

The other Jodhpur royal wedding ceremonies that are of equal importance are the "haldi ceremony," "Maira ceremony," "mehendi" and "padla" ceremonies.

On the main wedding day a local priest chants Vedic incantations as the bride and bridegroom walk around the sacred fire seven times.

A royal wedding in Jodhpur is a lavish affair that exudes opulence and regalia. So come and see a real royal wedding in Jodhpur during your cultural holidays to Rajasthan with Indian Horizons.
