A palace above the city and the view from the top is worth every vow.
Perched on 5 acres hilltop with Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar, and the City of Lakes skyline spread below, Aurika, Udaipur is the most dramatically elevated destination wedding venue in Udaipur. Enter through the Antara Bastion Gate — named ‘to pause’ — and the cobalt tiles, gilded interiors, and terraced Aravalli gardens immediately signal that this luxury resort wedding in Udaipur is unlike anything in the valley below. With 139 meticulously designed rooms and suites, a 5,500 sq. ft. pillarless Ekaara Ballroom, the Rooh rooftop bar with panoramic lake views, and Rajasthani cultural experiences from folk music to city tours, Aurika is a complete destination wedding experience near Lake Pichola.
Five versatile event spaces span 22,000+ sq. ft., accommodating 60 to 500+ guests for every function. The Ekaara Courtyard — 5,000 sq. ft. of open-air Rajasthani grandeur — frames phera ceremonies and sangeet nights with the Aravalli Hills as a backdrop. The pillarless Ekaara Ballroom handles reception dinners for 500 with seamless indoor-outdoor flow through the adjacent terrace. Intimate mehendi ceremonies and haldi functions find their setting in the terraced gardens and Aurum Terrace boardroom courtyard. The Rooh rooftop is the most distinctive cocktail-hour setting in the portfolio — lanterns, city panorama, and handcrafted cocktails as the sun drops behind the Aravallis. Outside decorators are permitted. The best time for a destination wedding in Udaipur at Aurika is October through March.
