Indian formal attire in a monochrome, pastel palette (sheesha / mirror work preferred).
About Mohan Mahal: Mohan Mahal takes its design inspiration from the famed Sheesh Mahal at Amber fort. Roughly 3,50,000 tiny mirrors are incorporated in its thikri-style interior design. This cozy space is lit only by candles, strategically placed, so that the candlelight reflecting off the mirrors adorning its ceiling emulates the feeling of dining under a canopy of stars. Guests should note that they will not be able to change into a different outfit after the wedding for our reception, since they will be transported from the wedding venue to our reception venue, which will not leave any time for outfit change. We have carefully selected a color and design scheme with this in mind, which will suit both venues and events.
