Kewra Lawn is an open-air event space set within the storied grounds of Hotel Diggi Palace, a heritage property in the C Scheme neighbourhood of Jaipur. The palace dates back centuries as the ancestral home of the Diggi royal family, and the lawn carries that same layered sense of history — surrounded by old trees, period architecture, and the unhurried elegance that defines a genuine Rajasthani haveli. The kewra (screwpine) plantings that give the space its name add a fragrant, botanical quality that distinguishes it from the polished banquet halls and modern hotel gardens found elsewhere in the city. For couples and event planners who want a venue that feels authentically rooted in place rather than dressed up to look the part, Kewra Lawn offers something genuinely rare.
The lawn is well suited to a wide range of celebratory and social gatherings. Weddings and pre-wedding functions — mehendi ceremonies, sangeet evenings, cocktail receptions — find a natural home here, where the open sky, ambient greenery, and heritage backdrop do much of the decorative work before any vendor arrives. The space also lends itself to corporate sundowners, private dinners, cultural evenings, and milestone celebrations where an intimate yet atmospheric setting is a priority. Because the venue sits within a working heritage hotel, event planners benefit from the on-site hospitality infrastructure — accommodation for outstation guests, in-house catering rooted in Rajasthani culinary tradition, and a staff accustomed to managing multi-day events that blend social and logistical demands. The character of the lawn shifts naturally between day and evening: afternoon events are warmed by Jaipur's abundant sunlight filtered through the canopy, while after dark the space takes on a more intimate mood suited to candlelit dinners and live music.
Hotel Diggi Palace is located in C Scheme, one of Jaipur's most established and well-connected residential and commercial neighbourhoods. The address places it within comfortable reach of the city's major landmarks — the walled city, Hawa Mahal, City Palace, and the central commercial arteries of MI Road are all accessible without crossing the city. Jaipur Junction railway station and Jaipur International Airport are both reachable without lengthy travel, making the property practical for guests arriving from other cities. C Scheme itself is well served by auto-rickshaws, cabs, and app-based ride services, and the locality's tree-lined streets give the approach to the palace a sense of arrival appropriate to a heritage occasion. For event planners coordinating vendors, the neighbourhood's central position makes logistics straightforward — a meaningful advantage when managing floristry, catering, and décor deliveries across the timeline of a multi-function event.

Kewra Lawn takes its name from the kewra (screwpine) plantings within the grounds, which give the space a distinctive fragrant, botanical character. Set within Hotel Diggi Palace — the ancestral home of the Diggi royal family — the lawn sits amid genuine period architecture and old trees rather than a recreated heritage aesthetic. This combination of authentic provenance and natural greenery sets it apart from purpose-built banquet gardens.
Hotel Diggi Palace has its own catering operation with a strong emphasis on Rajasthani culinary tradition, and in-house catering is typically available for events held on the property.
