Jagmandir Island Palace, Udaipur
Udaipur, India
"Jagmandir Island Palace is a breathtaking 17th-century palace set on its own island in Lake Pichola, Udaipur — an exclusive day/events wedding venue (reached by boat) for celebrations of up to 1,500 guests, with accommodation at the adjoining HRH City Palace hotels."
One of India's most photographed wedding settings, Jagmandir Island Palace floats on Lake Pichola against the backdrop of the City Palace and the Aravallis. Part of the HRH Group of Hotels, this 17th-century island palace is an exclusive events venue — guests are ferried across by boat to its garden terraces, the Gul Mahal, courtyards and the famous Kunwar Pada lawns. Because the island itself has only a handful of rooms, wedding parties stay at the adjoining HRH City Palace complex hotels (such as Shiv Niwas Palace and Fateh Prakash Palace) and cross to Jagmandir for functions — making it a venue for grand, cinematic celebrations rather than a conventional room-block resort.

Q: What is the wedding cost at Jagmandir Island Palace, Udaipur?
Jagmandir is an exclusive day/events venue, so cost is built from venue hire + per-plate F&B + decor + boat logistics rather than room nights. Realistically, a Jagmandir island wedding runs from around Rs.1.5 crore to Rs.6 crore+ depending on guest count, F&B tier and the City Palace hotel rooms booked for your guests. Contact us for current venue-rental and per-plate rates and a full budget breakdown.

From intimate gatherings of about 100 up to 1,500 guests across the island gardens, the Gul Mahal terrace, the courtyard and the Kunwar Pada lawns.
