About Samavana
Samavana, which calls itself Samavana Halls & Gardens, is a wedding venue at Jarakabande Kaval in Yelahanka, opposite JB Kaval Tree Park. It opened in 2024 and is laid out as lawns on two levels: Magnolia Square at the top, Gulmohar Court below it, and Fern Garden alongside, with Maya, a reception hall that opens onto the lawn, and Satva, a canopied dining space. The buildings are brick, clay tile and exposed timber, with a glazed gable over Maya.
It is sized for a full wedding weekend. On its WedMeGood listing the upper lawn takes 350 seated and 1,000 floating, Maya 300 seated and Fern Garden 300 seated, and the property has 30 rooms and suites, so both families can stay on site. Catering can be the venue's kitchen or your own caterer, and outside alcohol and outside DJs are allowed.
Panigrahana books Samavana at ₹9 lakh per day for the venue, excluding catering. The venue works with a panel of decorators, so a design is cleared with the venue before it is built. For a June to September date, Maya and Satva are the covered rooms, and a costed structure over a lawn is the backup.

Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at Samavana
Samavana's buildings are warm brick, clay tile and exposed timber, with a glazed gable over Maya, so the design starts from what is already there: a palette of marigold, terracotta, brass and ivory sits with the brick, while cool silver and white tends to look thin against it. The two lawn levels are the plan's backbone. Put the muhurtham on Magnolia Square, use Gulmohar Court and Maya as one room for the sangeet and reception, and light the route between the levels as infrastructure before any decorative fixture. Because the venue works from a decorator panel, submit drawings and the load-in plan to the venue early, and confirm the power available and where a generator can stand.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | Gulmohar Court, the lower lawn beside Maya, shaded by tall trees; Fern Garden if the family list is larger. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | Fern Garden, next to the dining area, so lunch comes straight from Satva. |
| Sangeet | Maya with Gulmohar Court attached: the stage sits under cover and the dance floor spills onto the lawn. Outdoor music stops at 10:30 pm, so build the set list back from that. |
| Wedding ceremony | Magnolia Square, the upper open-sky lawn and the largest space, with Maya as the rain plan. |
| Reception | Maya and Gulmohar Court together, with dinner served from Satva under its canopy. |
Season and weather
October to March is the window for the lawns; 55 of the 96 Bangalore weddings booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall between November and February (booking records, checked 24 October 2026). June to September works with Maya as the main room and a costed structure over a lawn as the backup.
Arrivals, access and logistics
Samavana is at Jarakabande Kaval in Yelahanka, opposite JB Kaval Tree Park, on the airport side of the city; the venue publishes no airport distance, so ask for drive times before booking transfers. The 30 rooms and suites hold the immediate families; book a hotel block in Yelahanka or on the airport road for everyone else. WedMeGood lists sufficient parking without a car count, so ask for the number. Agree load-in, power and generator placement in writing.
Samavana policies

| Catering | In-house and outside catering both allowed (WedMeGood listing, checked 26 October 2026). |
| Alcohol | No in-house bar; outside alcohol permitted (WedMeGood listing, checked 26 October 2026). A bar at a private event in Karnataka still needs the excise permit for the date. |

Confirm in writing. |

Before you book
Planning notes for Samavana
Is Samavana the right venue for your wedding?
| Right for you if | Yelahanka and North Bangalore families who want a garden wedding with several lawns on one property, rooms for both families on site, and the choice of the venue's kitchen or their own caterer. |
|---|---|
| Look elsewhere if | Better matched elsewhere: a function of fewer than 50 guests, which the listing does not take, and a family set on a decorator who is not on the venue's panel. |
| Planner tip | Hold the date against a short written note: the ₹9 lakh day rate and the hours it covers, whether the set-up evening is charged as a day, which decorators are cleared from the panel for your date, the catering route you are taking, and the load-in window. Those five lines decide the budget more than any other. |

Planning a wedding at Samavana from abroad
At Samavana, the venue rental is ₹9 lakh per day (Panigrahana booking records, checked 13 August 2026): about US$9,380 or £7,090 a day at the 26 Sep 2026 rate; contracts are in INR. 30 rooms ≈ 60 guests at two a room. A 150-guest block at two a room needs 75 rooms, so plan for about 45 rooms nearby.
Couples living abroad usually fly into Kempegowda International Airport, and Samavana sits in Yelahanka on the airport side of the city; the venue publishes no drive time, so ask for one before you book transfers. The 30 rooms and suites on site hold the family and the wedding party. November to February is when most of our Bangalore couples marry. A video walkthrough should cover Magnolia Square, Maya with its canopy open and closed, Satva set for dinner and the walk from the rooms.

What families usually ask about Samavana
Families usually ask where the mandap and the homam go: an open lawn such as Magnolia Square or Gulmohar Court suits an open-flame ritual, with Maya beside Gulmohar Court as cover. Catering can be the venue's kitchen or your own community cook, which matters for a traditional menu. Ask how level the walk is between the upper and lower lawns for elders. With 30 rooms and suites on site, grandparents can rest between functions.
What time does the music stop at Samavana?
Bengaluru closes amplified outdoor sound at 10 pm under the noise rules; in practice, outdoor music on the lawns has a hard stop at 10:30 pm, as at every Bangalore venue we work at (Panigrahana booking records, October 2026), and the venue sets the rule for Maya, the indoor hall, so ask for that time too. Confirm in writing.

Samavana's WedMeGood listing allows in-house and outside catering and names decorators from the venue's panel only (checked 26 October 2026). Ask the venue in writing which decorators are cleared for your date, and agree the load-in window and dismantling deadline before you commission a design.

Samavana or La Terra Gardens: which is better for a Yelahanka wedding?
Both are Yelahanka garden venues at a similar hire: Samavana is ₹9 lakh a day (Panigrahana booking records, rate confirmed 13 August 2026) and La Terra Gardens ₹9,00,000 a function on WedMeGood (checked 11 September 2026).

What is Samavana rated?
Samavana holds 5.0 out of 5 from 15 reviews on its WedMeGood listing (checked 26 October 2026), and it has been open since 2024, so most reviews are recent. Read the ones from weddings your size and ask the venue for two recent couples to speak to.
Is there a minimum guest count at Samavana?
Yes: Samavana's WedMeGood listing says functions under 50 guests are not allowed (checked 26 October 2026). For a small engagement or haldi, ask whether Gulmohar Court can be booked on its own and at what rate.
What happens at Samavana if it rains?
Samavana's cover is Maya, the hall, which WedMeGood lists as indoor at 300 seated and 800 floating, and Satva, the canopied dining space (checked 26 October 2026). For a June to September date, plan the main function under cover and price a waterproof structure over a lawn as the backup.

Book 9 to 12 months ahead for a November to February date: 55 of the 96 Bangalore weddings booked with Panigrahana in 2026 fall in those months (booking records, checked 24 October 2026). Off-season and weekday dates usually hold with 3 to 6 months' notice, against a written booking and deposit.

What is Samavana in Yelahanka, and is it a resort?
Samavana is a wedding venue at Jarakabande Kaval in Yelahanka that calls itself Samavana Halls & Gardens. It has a reception hall called Maya, three lawns (Gulmohar Court, Magnolia Square and Fern Garden) and a canopied dining space, Satva. Searches often say Samavana Resort, but the venue describes itself as halls and gardens; its gallery does include an Accommodation section. It lists engagements, weddings and haldi among its events.
Where can I see photos of Samavana?
Samavana's own gallery at samavana.in is the most reliable set of photos, sorted into Accommodation, Events and Venue, and its spaces page shows Maya, Magnolia Square and Satva. Look at Magnolia Square for the upper lawn and Gulmohar Court for the lawn attached to the hall. Before you book, ask Samavana for photographs of a wedding on the lawn you want, taken at the hour your function starts.
What services does Samavana offer for weddings?
Samavana offers its halls and gardens for engagements, weddings and haldi ceremonies, and its home page also mentions exhibitions. The venue describes a three-step process of concept, discussion and execution, and invites couples to design the wedding with it, but it publishes no package, capacity or rate. Panigrahana's booking record prices the hire without catering. Ask which services come with the hire and which you book yourself.
Is Samavana a good venue for a wedding?
Samavana suits a garden wedding in Yelahanka with several settings on one site: Maya for the reception, Gulmohar Court beside it, the upper lawn Magnolia Square, Fern Garden next to the dining area, and Satva for dining under a canopy. For reviews, read its Google listing and ask the venue for two recent wedding references. Before you book, get seated numbers for Maya and the lawns in writing, since the site publishes none, and ask how Maya's canopy covers dinner if it rains.
Where exactly is Samavana in Yelahanka?
Samavana is at Sy. No. 74/10, Jarakabande Kaval, Yelahanka, Bengaluru, and the venue gives JB Kaval Tree Park, opposite its gate, as the landmark. Use that landmark and the full name, Samavana Halls & Gardens, when you send guests a map pin. The venue publishes no parking figure or airport distance, so ask for the parking count and drive time before printing the invitation.
Which space at Samavana suits the haldi, engagement and reception?
Samavana lists engagements, weddings and haldi among its events, and its layout suggests a split: haldi on Gulmohar Court or Fern Garden by day, the reception in Maya with Gulmohar Court attached for overflow, and Magnolia Square, the upper lawn, for the largest open-air ceremony. Satva takes dining under its canopy. Confirm that two functions can run on the same day without sharing a teardown.
How do I contact Samavana to book a wedding date?
Call Samavana on +91 80737 88988 or email info@samavana.in; the venue's site also links a WhatsApp chat on the same number. Send your date, guest count and the functions you want, such as engagement, wedding and haldi, and ask for the hire charge, inclusions and catering terms in one written reply. Panigrahana can check the date with the venue for you and replies within 24 hours.
