Mar 5, 2011,

Udaipur's palaces have hosted many talked-about weddings, like those of Raveena Tandon Thadani and Vikram Chatwal. This time, they'll play host to the wedding of their own princess, the younger daughter of Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur, on March 7.

The wedding of 28-year-old Princess Padamja Kumari with Dr Kush Singh Parmar, son of Mahendra Sinh Parmar of Santrampur, Gujarat, will be a private affair. However, the wedding reception will be grand. The wedding ceremonies are set to start March 5 onwards. Like a traditional Rajput shaadi, functions like the mehndi and sangeet will be held in Jagmandir, while the pheras will take place in the Janana Mahal. The reception on March 8 in Shikarbadi, the hunting lodge of Mewar royalty, has a long list of guests.

The wedding card
The kumkum patrika has been written in English and is encased in red-coloured envelopes that contain three leaflets. The first leaflet, printed on yellow paper, is the invite for the reception on March 8, while the second leaflet shows the route map to Shikarbadi, the venue for the shadi ri goth. The entry to Shikarbadi will strictly be on bringing the invitation cards, and the identity card of the addressee will also be checked at the entrance. Only vegetarian dinner will be served.

No gifts please !
One of the leaflets, printed on white paper, with the royal insignia of the Mewar Riyasat on top, also requests the guests not to bring any gifts. "While we don't encourage our guests to bring presents for the newly wedded couple, we request that you may perhaps wish to demonstrate your admiration and affection by presenting a token gift. Guests arriving at the Shikarbadi for shadi ri goth, who are unable to greet the couple personally, may leave their gift at the 'Wedding Blessing and Gift Repository'," says the leaflet.
