Wedding makeup at Raffles Udaipur
Raffles Udaipur occupies its own 21-acre island on Udai Sagar, away from the city's busier lakes. The whole wedding happens on one island: gardens, a ballroom, a temple and a boat ride for every arrival.
How bookings work
From Pune to Udai Sagar for your wedding.
Tejaswini is based in Pune. On an island property she stays on site through your functions so call times never depend on a boat. Travel and accommodation for her, and for any extra artists, are added at cost.

The setting
A country estate on a 16th-century lake.
Udai Sagar was created in the 16th century under Maharana Udai Singh II, the founder of Udaipur, and is the last lake in the city's chain. Raffles chose an island in the middle of it for its first Indian hotel, which opened in August 2021.
The resort is laid out like an estate, with formal gardens, lawns, an old temple and lake views from every room. Guests are taken across by boat from a lakeshore arrival point.
The island is about half an hour from the old city. That distance is part of the appeal: once guests arrive, the wedding has the island to itself.

Worth doing

- Use the gardens for daytime portraits
- Ask for a separate room for family makeup
Worth avoiding
- Relying on boats for early call times
- Glossy bases for lakeside sun
- Heavy, hot bridal looks for an outdoor mehendi
- Forgetting a wrap for winter evenings on the water
