About Diwan-E-Khaas
A Royal Chamber Steeped in Rajput Grandeur
The Diwan-E-Khaas at The Raj Palace is one of the most evocative private event spaces in Jaipur — a chamber whose very name echoes the Mughal and Rajput tradition of a "Hall of Private Audience," reserved for distinguished guests and intimate royal gatherings. True to that heritage, the space carries an atmosphere of regal intimacy that larger ballrooms simply cannot replicate. Ornate frescoes, hand-carved stonework, and antique furnishings compose a setting that has been preserved and restored to honour the palace's origins as a royal residence. For guests seeking an event backdrop that tells a story centuries in the making, few venues in Rajasthan offer this depth of character.
The Raj Palace itself is one of Jaipur's most celebrated heritage properties, a converted maharaja's palace in the Brahampuri quarter of the old city. The property has earned international recognition for its commitment to authentic preservation, and the Diwan-E-Khaas reflects that ethos at every turn — from its arched doorways and latticed jharokha windows to the warm glow cast by traditional lanterns and chandeliers. The intimate scale of the chamber makes it particularly suited to events where exclusivity and atmosphere take precedence over sheer numbers.
Events & Occasions
The Diwan-E-Khaas is ideally suited to intimate weddings and pre-wedding rituals such as mehendi, sangeet, and engagement ceremonies where a close gathering of family and friends is preferred over a large crowd. Corporate events — private board dinners, leadership conclaves, high-value client entertaining, and product launches seeking a distinctive setting — find the space equally compelling. The chamber's distinctive visual identity also makes it a sought-after venue for royal-themed photo shoots, press events, and curated cultural evenings.
Because the space is contained and architecturally rich, it lends itself to styling that complements rather than competes with its heritage fabric. Event planners often work with the in-house team at The Raj Palace to design décor using marigold, rose, and jasmine arrangements that echo traditional Rajasthani aesthetics, while modern AV requirements can be accommodated discreetly so as not to disturb the historic interior. The venue's in-house catering draws on royal Rajasthani culinary traditions, offering menus that extend the cultural narrative from the décor through to the dining table.
Location & Accessibility
Situated in Brahampuri, the Diwan-E-Khaas benefits from being embedded within the living heritage of Jaipur's old city — close to iconic landmarks including the City Palace and Hawa Mahal, both of which are within a short distance. Jaipur's Sanganer International Airport connects the city to major Indian metros and select international destinations, making destination events here accessible for guests travelling from across India and abroad. The Raj Palace also offers on-site guest accommodation in individually styled suites, allowing event guests to stay within the palace itself and fully immerse in the royal experience from arrival through to departure.
For event planners scouting Jaipur's heritage circuit, the Diwan-E-Khaas stands apart as a space where history, craftsmanship, and hospitality converge in a setting that is genuinely, irreplaceably royal.

Prospective hosts should speak with The Raj Palace events team to confirm suitability for their specific event format.
As an intimate heritage chamber, the Diwan-E-Khaas is designed for smaller, exclusive gatherings rather than large-scale banquets.

The Raj Palace works to accommodate contemporary AV needs — such as sound systems, microphones, and projection — in a manner that is discreet and sympathetic to the historic interior.

The Raj Palace is located in Brahampuri within Jaipur's old city, placing it in close proximity to landmarks such as the City Palace and Hawa Mahal. This central heritage location means guests can experience the broader cultural fabric of Jaipur alongside their event. Exact distances to specific landmarks should be verified with the property directly or via a current mapping service.
The Raj Palace offers on-site accommodation in individually styled suites, allowing event guests to stay within the palace itself. This is a meaningful advantage for destination weddings and multi-day corporate retreats, as it enables attendees to fully immerse in the royal setting.

Yes — event planners frequently work with The Raj Palace's in-house team to create décor using traditional Rajasthani elements such as marigold, rose, and jasmine arrangements, which complement the chamber's heritage aesthetic. The space's architectural richness means décor is typically designed to enhance rather than overpower the existing ornamentation. Custom decoration packages and vendor arrangements can be discussed during the planning process.
The chamber's distinctive visual identity — frescoes, carved stonework, and royal-era furnishings — makes it a compelling backdrop for brand activations, press events, and product launches where a memorable setting is part of the story. Its intimate scale ensures a focused, high-impact atmosphere rather than a sprawling convention format. The events team can advise on setup configurations and technical provisions suited to corporate presentations.
As a preserved heritage space within a converted royal palace, the Diwan-E-Khaas may have guidelines around the use of adhesives, open flames, or structural alterations to protect its historic fabric.

Booking and cancellation terms for event spaces at The Raj Palace are set out in the venue's event contract and can vary based on the event type and season. It is important to review these terms carefully before confirming a reservation. The events team at The Raj Palace can provide the current policy as part of any formal event proposal.
The Raj Palace is located within the Brahampuri area of Jaipur's old city, and parking arrangements for event guests should be confirmed with the property directly, as old-city locations can have specific access considerations. The events team can advise on the best approach for guest arrival and vehicle management based on the expected number of attendees.
The Raj Palace features multiple event spaces, and it is common for multi-function celebrations — such as a wedding spread across several days — to use different venues within the property for different rituals or occasions. Whether the Diwan-E-Khaas can be paired with other spaces on the same day or across consecutive days should be discussed with the events team, who can help design an event flow across the full property.
