About Lawn
The Lawn at Hotel Natraj
Set within Hotel Natraj in the BSNL Colony area of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, the Lawn is an open-air event space that draws on the natural beauty and spiritual character of one of India's most celebrated pilgrimage and wellness destinations. The space offers an outdoor setting that feels distinctly removed from the pace of urban event venues — surrounded by the clean air, lush greenery, and unhurried atmosphere that define Rishikesh. For couples, families, and organisations seeking an event backdrop that goes beyond a conventional banquet hall, the Lawn at Hotel Natraj presents a refreshing alternative where nature itself becomes part of the décor.
The open format of the Lawn lends itself to flexible arrangement, making it suitable for intimate ceremonies as well as larger social gatherings. The natural ground and surrounding greenery create a relaxed yet celebratory ambience that works particularly well for outdoor weddings, mehndi and sangeet functions, birthday celebrations, and family get-togethers. Corporate groups visiting Rishikesh for team retreats, wellness offsites, or incentive programmes also find the Lawn a fitting venue for outdoor sessions, networking dinners, and informal gatherings that benefit from an alfresco setting.
Events & Occasions
The Lawn is well-suited to the range of events that bring guests to Rishikesh — from destination weddings and pre-wedding rituals to social celebrations and corporate retreats. Destination weddings in Rishikesh have grown significantly in popularity, and the Lawn's outdoor character supports the kind of personalised, nature-framed ceremonies that couples increasingly seek. Mandap setups, floral décor, and string lighting can transform the space for wedding functions, while a more streamlined arrangement suits corporate gatherings or private dining events under the open sky.
Hotel Natraj's in-house team is available to assist with event planning and coordination, ensuring that catering, setup, and logistical requirements are managed on-site. Guests staying at the hotel benefit from the convenience of having their event space and accommodation in the same property, reducing the complexity that often comes with organising events in a destination location.
Location & Accessibility
Hotel Natraj is located in the BSNL Colony neighbourhood of Rishikesh, a city in the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand at the foothills of the Himalayas. Rishikesh is well-connected by road to Dehradun, which has the nearest airport — Jolly Grant Airport — at approximately 35 kilometres from the city. The Rishikesh Railway Station connects the town to major cities across northern India, and the bus terminus provides frequent services to and from Haridwar, Dehradun, and Delhi.
The BSNL Colony location places the hotel within reach of Rishikesh's key landmarks, including the Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula suspension bridges, the Triveni Ghat, and the many ashrams and yoga centres that draw visitors from around the world. This proximity means that event guests can experience the full character of Rishikesh during their stay, adding cultural and experiential value to any event hosted at the Lawn.
