Udaipur, a globally renowned wedding haven, is abuzz with preparations for the impending union of Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha at The Leela Palace, scheduled for September 24. The festivities promise grandeur, with Raghav embarking on a traditional Mewari-style boat procession to collect Parineeti.
Distinguished chefs have been summoned to craft sumptuous Punjabi fare for the occasion, ensuring an opulent culinary experience. Guests will be greeted in true Mewari style, with captivating Ghoomar dance performances.
Notably, the couple has secured the lavish Maharaja Suite at The Leela Palace, a 3500-square-foot enclave commanding a staggering daily rate of approximately Rs 10 lakh. The hotel boasts global acclaim, having been recognized in Travel Plus Leisure’s World Survey Awards – 2023, earning a spot among the world’s top 100 and India’s top 5 hotels. In 2019, a New York travel publication bestowed upon The Leela Palace the prestigious title of the world’s best hotel, factoring in its unparalleled location, impeccable service, and opulent facilities.
The Leela Palace’s allure is further heightened by its picturesque setting, with panoramic views of the hills, Lake Pichola, and architectural marvels like the Taj Palace and City Palace. The property exudes opulence through its intricate marble and Tikri art, complemented by meticulous hand carvings.
Udaipur gained prominence as a wedding destination following the extravagant nuptials of Raveena Tandon and Anil Thadani in 2004. Raveena’s memorable entrance on a century-old doli, formerly reserved for royal weddings, set the stage for a series of destination weddings in the region.
Notably, Neil Nitin Mukesh’s 2017 wedding to Rukmani Sahay at Hotel Radisson Blu saw the groom arrive in a vintage car. The shores of Udaipur’s lakes witnessed the opulent pre-wedding celebrations of Mukesh Ambani’s daughter, Isha, in 2018, marked by the arrival of over 150 chartered flights at Dabok Airport in Udaipur.
As Udaipur remains an enduring symbol of opulent weddings, Parineeti and Raghav’s forthcoming union at The Leela Palace is poised to be another unforgettable chapter in the city’s illustrious wedding history.
