A Royal Outdoor Setting Steeped in Heritage

Palace Lawn at The Sariska Palace is an expansive open-air event space set within the grounds of one of Rajasthan's most storied heritage properties. The Sariska Palace was originally built as a royal hunting lodge for the Maharaja of Alwar and later served as a residence for distinguished guests, including British royalty. Today, its manicured lawns carry that same sense of grandeur — wide, open, and framed by the palace's striking Indo-Saracenic architecture — making them one of the most evocative outdoor event venues in the Alwar region. Hosting an event here means your guests are surrounded by history at every turn, with the palace façade serving as an unforgettable natural backdrop that no purpose-built banquet hall can replicate.

The lawn's setting within the Sariska Tiger Reserve zone adds a dimension that is rare even by Rajasthan's lofty standards. The landscape beyond the palace grounds gives way to the Aravalli hills, lending the space a sense of scale and natural drama that complements the heritage architecture beautifully. Whether lit at dusk with traditional diyas and string lights or dressed for a formal daytime gathering, Palace Lawn transforms with ease and carries every décor style — from classic Rajputana florals to contemporary minimalist setups — without ever losing its inherent character.

Events & Celebrations

Palace Lawn is ideally suited to weddings and wedding-related functions — mehendi, sangeet, haldi, and baraat ceremonies all find a natural home in this open-air setting, where there is room for movement, music, and the kind of celebratory energy that enclosed halls cannot contain. The lawn also accommodates corporate retreats, product launches, private dinners under the stars, and milestone celebrations where organisers want a venue that does more than provide a backdrop — it contributes to the story of the event itself.

The heritage character of The Sariska Palace appeals strongly to couples and event planners seeking a destination wedding experience away from the bustle of a city hotel. Guests travelling from Delhi — approximately 200 kilometres away — find Sariska a practical and scenic choice for a multi-day celebration, with the journey through the Aravalli countryside adding to the sense of occasion. In-house catering draws on both traditional Rajasthani cuisine and broader Indian and continental menus, and the palace's events team works with clients to customise décor, lighting, and ceremonial arrangements to suit the specific occasion.

Location & Accessibility

The Sariska Palace sits in Sariska, within the Alwar district of Rajasthan. Alwar railway station is the nearest major railhead, connecting the destination to Delhi and Jaipur. The property is also accessible by road from Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra, making it a viable destination for guests arriving from multiple directions. For those flying in, Jaipur International Airport and Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi are both within driving distance, giving out-of-town guests flexibility in how they arrive for a multi-day event at this landmark heritage property.
