About The Garden Lawn
A Lawn Set Within a 18th-Century Palace
The Garden Lawn at RAAS Devigarh offers an open-air event setting unlike almost any other in Rajasthan. Devigarh Palace itself is an 18th-century hilltop fort-palace that was painstakingly restored and converted into one of India's most celebrated boutique luxury properties. The Garden Lawn sits within the palace precincts, framed by centuries-old stone ramparts and the quietly dramatic Aravalli Hills — a backdrop that no amount of décor budget can replicate. The setting is inherently ceremonial: the grandeur is built-in, and events held here carry the weight and beauty of a living heritage monument.
The lawn's open-sky format makes it especially suited to daytime and twilight events, when the natural light plays across the pale marble and sandstone surfaces of the palace around it. As evening falls, the lit palace walls and the star-filled skies above Delwara — a village setting well away from urban light pollution — transform the space into something quietly spectacular. Whether approached as a blank canvas dressed with flowers and lanterns, or left largely unadorned to let the architecture speak, the Garden Lawn works because its surroundings do the heavy lifting.
Events & Occasions at The Garden Lawn
The Garden Lawn is particularly popular for destination weddings, and RAAS Devigarh as a whole has become a well-regarded address on the Indian luxury wedding circuit. The palace setting, the exclusivity of a boutique property with a limited number of suites, and the scope for full property buyouts all make it attractive to couples seeking an intimate yet visually extraordinary ceremony or reception. Mehndi ceremonies, sangeets, cocktail evenings, and sit-down wedding dinners have all found a natural home on this lawn.
Beyond weddings, the space suits private corporate retreats, leadership summits, gala dinners, and product launches where an unconventional, prestige backdrop is part of the brief. The surrounding Aravalli Hills and the historic village of Delwara add an experiential dimension — guests are not just attending an event, they are spending time in a place with genuine character and history.
RAAS Devigarh's culinary team handles in-house catering, drawing on Rajasthani and broader Indian cuisine alongside contemporary menus. The property's event and hospitality teams work closely with organizers on layout, décor coordination, lighting, and AV requirements for outdoor events, ensuring the technical side of a function is handled with the same care as the aesthetic.
Location & Access
RAAS Devigarh is located in Delwara village, approximately 28 kilometres from Udaipur. Udaipur is served by Maharana Pratap Airport, which has direct connections to major Indian cities and international connections via hubs such as Mumbai and Delhi. The drive from Udaipur through the Aravalli Hills takes guests through genuinely scenic terrain, and many couples and event organizers find that the journey itself sets an atmospheric tone for the event. For guests staying on-site in the palace suites, the transition from accommodation to event space is seamless — everything unfolds within the same extraordinary heritage envelope.

The space's flexibility as a canvas and the property's boutique exclusivity make it a strong choice for events that prioritize atmosphere and intimacy.
RAAS Devigarh is located in Delwara village, approximately 28 kilometres from Udaipur.

Many guests find the journey through the hills adds to the overall experience of arriving at the property.

From the airport, guests travel approximately 28 kilometres to reach RAAS Devigarh in Delwara. The property's events team can advise on recommended transfer arrangements.
RAAS Devigarh is a boutique palace property with a limited number of suites, which makes it well suited to full property buyouts for weddings or private corporate retreats. Guests and event organizers should contact the property's reservations and events team directly to discuss availability and buyout terms, as these arrangements are handled on a case-by-case basis.
The Garden Lawn sits within the precincts of the 18th-century Devigarh fort-palace, surrounded by centuries-old stone ramparts and the Aravalli Hills. At night, the lit palace walls and the low light pollution of Delwara village create a naturally dramatic setting that requires minimal additional décor to feel spectacular. The architectural grandeur of the palace serves as a built-in backdrop that distinguishes events held here from those at purpose-built venues.
Yes, RAAS Devigarh's culinary team provides in-house catering, with menus that draw on Rajasthani and broader Indian cuisine alongside contemporary options. Event organizers should discuss specific menu preferences, dietary requirements, and service formats directly with the property's events and catering team when planning their function.
The Garden Lawn's open-sky format makes it suitable for both daytime and evening occasions. Natural light during the day and at twilight plays beautifully across the palace's pale stone surfaces, while the illuminated ramparts and clear Aravalli skies after dark create a different but equally compelling atmosphere. The property's team can advise on lighting and setup options appropriate for the time of event.
RAAS Devigarh's events team works with organizers on layout, décor coordination, lighting design, and audiovisual requirements for outdoor events. As with most boutique heritage properties, the specific equipment inventory and preferred vendor arrangements are best confirmed directly with the events team during the planning stage. The team's familiarity with the space's natural advantages — the palace architecture and hillside setting — informs how they typically approach décor and technical setups.
The boutique nature of RAAS Devigarh means the property as a whole tends to attract events that value exclusivity and intimacy over scale. The Garden Lawn can be configured to suit a range of group sizes, from small ceremonial gatherings to larger celebrations. Precise capacity figures for different event formats should be confirmed directly with the property's events team, as layouts vary depending on the type of function.
Many luxury heritage properties in Rajasthan work with external wedding planners and specialized décor vendors alongside their in-house team, and RAAS Devigarh is known to attract experienced destination wedding professionals. The specific policies on outside vendors — including who needs to be approved or empanelled — should be confirmed directly with the property's events team before finalizing arrangements.
Interested organizers can reach out to RAAS Devigarh's events and reservations team through the official website at raashotels.com to inquire about dates, availability, and pricing. Given the boutique nature of the property and the popularity of full buyouts, early inquiry is advisable — particularly for peak wedding season dates between October and March in Rajasthan.
As an open-air lawn, the Garden Lawn is best experienced under clear skies, and Rajasthan's climate — especially from October to March — is generally favorable for outdoor events. Organizers planning events during or near the monsoon months should discuss contingency options, such as temporary canopy or shamiana structures, with the property's events team well in advance. RAAS Devigarh's team, experienced in managing destination events, can guide planners on seasonal considerations.
RAAS Devigarh is a restored 18th-century fort-palace and is recognized as a significant heritage property. Its restoration is widely regarded as a benchmark example of sensitive adaptive reuse in Indian hospitality. Event organizers should discuss any structural, noise, or operational guidelines that apply to the heritage site with the property team during the planning process, as these can influence setup and programme timing.
Yes, RAAS Devigarh has a collection of suites within the palace for guests staying overnight, which is one of the key draws for destination weddings and multi-day corporate retreats. The boutique scale of the property means room numbers are limited, so accommodation should be blocked well ahead of the event date, particularly for full-buyout bookings.
What distinguishes the Garden Lawn is its setting within the actual precincts of the 18th-century Devigarh palace, surrounded by original ramparts and overlooking the Aravalli Hills — a combination that is genuinely rare even in Rajasthan's competitive heritage hospitality landscape. Unlike purpose-built event lawns, it carries authentic architectural character that frames every occasion. The low light pollution of Delwara village and the boutique exclusivity of the property add further layers that are difficult to replicate elsewhere in the region.
