A Living Rajasthani Courtyard at the Heart of Chokhi Dhani

The Chaupal at Chokhi Dhani – Ethnic Village Resort Jaipur is a traditional open-air courtyard venue rooted in the cultural fabric of rural Rajasthan. Chaupal, a word deeply embedded in the social life of Indian villages, refers to the communal gathering space where communities have long come together for celebrations, storytelling, and ceremony — and this space honours that heritage with authenticity. Set within the sprawling ethnic village resort in Sitapura on the outskirts of Jaipur, the Chaupal channels the spirit of a Rajasthani village square: earthy textures, folk-art motifs, traditional architecture, and an atmosphere that transports guests away from the urban everyday. The resort itself has established itself over the decades as one of Rajasthan's most recognised cultural hospitality destinations, and the Chaupal sits at the heart of that identity.

Events Suited to the Space

The Chaupal is designed for events that call for warmth, colour, and cultural immersion. It is a natural fit for traditional Rajasthani weddings and pre-wedding functions — mehndi ceremonies, sangeets, and haldi rituals especially benefit from the open courtyard character and folk-festive ambience that the space inherently provides. Social gatherings such as milestone birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and family get-togethers find in the Chaupal an atmosphere that encourages conviviality and joy. Corporate groups seeking offsite team outings, cultural evenings, or incentive dinners also regularly use the space for its ability to deliver a genuinely immersive Rajasthani experience — one that is difficult to replicate in a conventional banquet hall. The open-air setting lends itself to folk performances, puppet shows, and live music, all of which are part of the broader Chokhi Dhani entertainment offering and can be arranged as part of an event at the Chaupal.

Location and the Chokhi Dhani Setting

Sitapura, where Chokhi Dhani stands, is located on the Tonk Road in the southern part of Jaipur — a city celebrated as the Pink City and one of India's most iconic destinations for cultural tourism and destination weddings. The resort's location outside the city centre means that guests experience a genuine sense of arrival, transitioning from the urban to the rustic as they enter the village-resort gates. Jaipur's main attractions — from the Amber Fort to the City Palace — are accessible by road, making the property a compelling choice for destination wedding guests travelling from across India or internationally. Jaipur International Airport and the city's railway stations further support connectivity for outstation attendees. Within the resort, the Chaupal benefits from proximity to authentic Rajasthani dining, folk-art galleries, and the full cultural programming that makes Chokhi Dhani a self-contained world of its own — meaning event guests need not step outside the property to experience Rajasthan at its most vivid.

Chokhi Dhani is well known for its authentic Rajasthani cuisine, and in-house catering drawing on this culinary tradition is a key part of the event experience at the resort.
