Wedding Venue
The couple shares, “After much consideration, we chose the newly built Kaldan Samudhra Palace as our wedding venue. The interiors with their intricate details and the warmth of the staff bowled us over. And, since we’re marwaris from Rajasthan, this fit right into our vibe. Plus, the property has Asia’s biggest swimming pool.

We, especially, want to thank the hotel staff who helped us in every way possible to make things easier for us.”
