Guest Check-In / Welcome Brunch
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
As everyone arrives to the hotel, please take your time freshening up and come to the main restaurant for a welcome lunch. Super casual/informal.
Mehendi (Henna)
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
INDIAN ATTIRE ONLY. Please wear warm, bright, tropical colors: greens, yellows, oranges, pinks, blues. Please avoid wearing dark/neutral colors, and NO red. Same outfit as your Sangeet outfit for later in the evening, so get glammed up!
Get your henna done by a professional. There will be bites and cocktails. This event will transition into the Sangeet (dance party!) as the sun sets. There will also be an on-site carnival with games and a bazaar for you to buy trinkets and souvenirs - be sure to withdraw Rupees from the airport!
Sangeet
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Same outfit as your Mehendi outfit! No need to change.
Bring your dancing shoes! After Sangeet ends around 10pm, feel free to get into your PJs and hangout on the terrace or go for a late night swim.

Haldi (Turmeric) Ceremony
10:00 am - 11:30 am
INDIAN ATTIRE ONLY. Please wear shades of yellow or white with yellow accents!
Following breakfast, jumpstart your morning with mimosas and mango lassis (a traditional Indian mango smoothie)! The Haldi ceremony is a pre-wedding ritual in traditional Indian weddings where the bride and groom are covered in a paste of turmeric, sandalwood, rose water, and other ingredients. We may or may not be jumping in the pool after this ;)
Safa Tying
2:30 pm
Safa tying, also known as tying a pagri or turban, is a traditional practice in various regions of India, particularly Rajasthan, and is an important part of celebrations like weddings. It involves wrapping a long, often unstitched cloth around the head in a specific manner! This will be a fun event for any male guests who want to participate and pregame the Baraat with the groom.
Procession of Baraat
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
INDIAN ATTIRE ONLY. Your Indian wedding-ready outfit! No red, and white is reserved for immediate family only, but you can wear dark/neutral colors! The more embroidery, sequins, mirror work, silk, and bold jewelry - the better!
The Baraat is a celebratory parade for the groom on his wedding day (this is where you see the groom's grand entrance on an elephant, horse, vintage car, etc.). It's a big party with his family and friends, showing how excited they are for him. The bride's family and guests usually watch the baraat arrive, marking the start of the wedding celebrations!
Wedding Ceremony
5:00 pm - 6:15 pm
INDIAN ATTIRE ONLY. Same outfit as Baraat!
Inclusive of two ceremonies called "Jaimal" and "Pheras". There will be chai + snacks served beforehand. During this traditional Hindu ceremony, we ask that you are quiet and off your phones. Dinner & reception to follow!
