Lavisha and Rikin, Via Lakhela Resort & Spa, Kumbhalgarh

Set against the serene shores of Lakhela Lake and framed by the majestic Aravalli Hills, Lavisha and Rikin’s wedding unfolded like a dream at Via Lakhela Resort & Spa in Kumbhalgarh. This tranquil lakeside retreat offered the perfect blend of natural beauty and luxurious comfort, creating a soulful canvas for their multi-day celebration. From vibrant, tradition-infused festivities to heartfelt moments shared with loved ones, every element of the wedding reflected the couple’s vision, rooted in heritage, elevated by design, and brought to life amidst nature’s quiet grandeur.

How They Met
Lavisha and Rikin’s story began with a moment of unexpected charm at a friend’s party, where a spilt drink led to something far more memorable. “Rikin accidentally spilt his drink on my dress, and what started as an awkward apology soon turned into hours of effortless conversation,” Lavisha smiles. After three years of growing together, he proposed during a quiet sunrise hike in Kasol — a moment that was, in her words, “simple, private, and perfect.”

Wedding Venue
Nestled by the tranquil Lakhela Lake and framed by the Aravalli Hills, Via Lakhela Resort and Spa instantly captured the couple’s hearts. “We fell in love with Via Lakhela’s peaceful setting — the lakeside views created the most romantic atmosphere for our celebration,” they share. “The resort struck the perfect balance between comfort and natural beauty, giving our families the chance to truly connect and unwind before and after the ceremonies. The staff made planning from afar seamless and welcomed us like their own.”

Wedding Planning
For Lavisha and Rikin, the wedding was a heartfelt union not just of two people, but of cultures and traditions. “Our wedding beautifully blended Punjabi and Rajasthani traditions, honoring both our families’ heritage,” they share. From the intricately handcrafted phoolon ki chaadar to the vibrant varmala, every detail reflected this harmony. “The floral elements were crafted by local Rajasthani artisans using fresh, seasonal blooms sourced by Via Lakhela — it made the experience feel even more rooted and meaningful.”

Wedding Functions
Sangeet
The couple’s Sangeet was a high-energy celebration styled around a vibrant “Glitz and Glam” Bollywood theme. Held poolside under the stars, the evening was a dazzling blend of music, dance, and unfiltered joy. “Our Sangeet was a ‘Glitz and Glam’ themed Bollywood night that we enjoyed completely!”, they shared. “The space came alive with lights, dancing, and everyone just letting loose — it was exactly the kind of fun, carefree vibe we had imagined for our pre-wedding celebration.”

Haldi
The Haldi ceremony burst to life with a vibrant “Carnival” theme — a joyful riot of colour, music, and movement. “It was floral, fun, and crazy in the best way,” the couple shares. “There was yellow everywhere, carnival games, nonstop laughter, and family members breaking into dance moves they’d been saving for years!” The atmosphere was nothing short of electric — a perfect prelude to the wedding’s emotional crescendo.

Mehndi
Infused with the rich cultural spirit of Rajasthan, the Mehndi celebration embraced a vibrant, multicoloured traditional theme. “We wanted our Mehndi to reflect the energy and heritage of Rajasthan, so we included folk artists and traditional décor in a riot of colors,” the couple shares. The lively atmosphere, complete with cultural performances and vivid detailing, brought the event to life with joy and authenticity.

Wedding
Rooted in tradition and rich with cultural elegance, the wedding, hosted in April, was a classic Rajasthani Marwadi ceremony held against the serene backdrop of Lakhela Lake. “The Via Lakhela team created a magical setting — the lighting was just perfect, and the lakeside mandap looked like something out of a dream,” the couple shares. Lavisha’s bridal entry was a show-stopping moment that blended emotion and drama, leaving guests with a memory they’ll cherish forever.
