Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at Chitravana Resorts
Intimate and green: keep the mandap low on the lawn, light the pool edge for the evening, and plan a tent as the rain cover since there is no large indoor hall.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The poolside, up to 100. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | The poolside or the lawn. |
| Sangeet | The lawn until 10 pm. |
| Wedding ceremony | The lawn, up to 250. |
| Reception | The lawn and poolside together, up to 400 (VenueLook). |
Season and weather
November to February is the comfortable window in Mysuru: cool, dry evenings for outdoor functions. Dasara fills the city's hotels and roads for ten days in September or October, so plan around the festival dates, and keep a covered space as the plan for the south-west monsoon, June to September (IMD).
Arrivals, access and logistics
The resort is on the HD Kote Road at Kalawadi Gate on Mysuru's south side. Guests flying in usually land at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) in Bengaluru; from central Bangalore the expressway run to Mysuru takes roughly three hours, more at peak hours. With 9 rooms, guests stay in Mysuru hotels and need transfers for each function. Loudspeakers in the open stop at 10 pm under India's Noise Pollution Rules, 2000, which exempt closed halls.

Planning a wedding at Chitravana Resorts from abroad
At Chitravana Resorts, the vegetarian plate rate is ₹450 (VenueLook, checked 27 October 2026), so food for one 150-guest function is ₹67,500 before taxes: about US$700 or £530 at the 26 Sep 2026 rate; contracts are in INR. 9 rooms ≈ 18 guests at two a room.

Its 9 rooms hold the couple and parents; book city hotels for everyone else. November to February suits overseas guests. A video walkthrough should cover the lawn, the poolside and the rain cover.

What families usually ask about Chitravana Resorts
The lawn takes the mandap for up to 250 (VenueLook), but there is no large indoor hall, so ask for a covered plan for the rituals before you book a monsoon date. Catering is in-house, so agree the traditional vegetarian menu at a tasting. 9 rooms keep the parents on site; alcohol is served, so agree where the bar sits if the family prefers it apart from the ceremony.
