Question

What should I wear to the wedding events?

Answer

For all wedding events you are welcome and encouraged to wear traditional Indian clothing (Ladies: Sari, Lehenga, Salwar Kameez; Men: Sherwani). US/Western formal attire is suitable as well-- whichever feels most comfortable to you. To minimize your own stress, we recommend bringing your outfits with you instead of buying outfits in India. However, if you arrive in India at least a few days before the wedding festivities, it is possible to purchase outfits there.

Question

What transportation will I need in Bhubaneswar?

Answer

Once we have arrival information from everyone, we will try to arrange group transports from the airport to the hotel. The hotel will host all wedding events, so no transportation will be needed. If you want to explore Bhubaneswar and beyond, we do not recommend renting a car and driving yourself- the driving style and road conditions are intense! We recommend hiring a car with driver to take you around- more details to come on that!
