The Lawn at The Dhawala Resort Sariska is an open-air event space set against the dramatic natural backdrop of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar, Rajasthan. The space draws its character from its surroundings — lush greenery, open skies, and the quiet of a wildlife corridor that sits well away from the noise and congestion of city venues. For guests travelling from Delhi or Jaipur, it offers a genuine change of scene: a venue where the landscape itself becomes part of the event's atmosphere. The resort's setting within the Aravalli hills gives the Lawn a distinctive quality that a banquet hall or urban hotel rooftop simply cannot replicate.
The Lawn is particularly well suited to events that benefit from open space and natural light — wedding ceremonies and receptions, sangeet and mehendi functions, pre-wedding celebrations, and outdoor corporate gatherings. The open-air format allows for expansive décor setups, including mandap arrangements, floral installations, and themed lighting that come alive after sunset against the dark, star-filled sky of rural Rajasthan. Corporate groups find the outdoor setting equally appealing for team-building activities, off-site retreats, and evening dinners designed to step away from the boardroom environment.
What sets the Lawn apart from comparable resort venues is the calibre of its natural environment. Events held here unfold under open skies with the greenery of the Sariska landscape providing a living backdrop — something that photographers and guests consistently appreciate. The absence of an urban skyline or artificial horizon means décor decisions carry more weight, and vendors working in this space tend to create setups that complement rather than compete with the surroundings.
The resort provides in-house event support, and the team is experienced in coordinating weddings and celebrations that bring together guests travelling from multiple cities. Accommodations on the property allow for multi-day event formats — such as a weekend wedding with pre-event functions, the main ceremony, and a post-wedding brunch — keeping the guest group together across all celebrations without requiring external accommodation arrangements. This integrated setup is a strong practical draw for families planning destination weddings in Rajasthan.
The resort is located in Sariska, within the Alwar district of Rajasthan. Alwar is well connected by rail from Delhi, and the resort is accessible by road from both Delhi and Jaipur — two of the most common origin points for destination wedding guests in this region. Sariska is approximately 200 kilometres from Delhi and roughly 110 kilometres from Jaipur, making it a practical destination-wedding location that does not require air travel for the majority of guests. The proximity to Sariska Tiger Reserve is also a genuine guest-experience differentiator: attendees can combine an event with a wildlife experience in one of Rajasthan's most celebrated tiger reserves, adding a memorable dimension that a city venue cannot offer.
