The Tamarind Tree, off Kanakapura Road in South Bangalore, and Nature Knots, at Hesaraghatta in the north, are two of the garden estates couples shortlist when they want something green and away from a hotel ballroom. They are built for different weddings: one is a five-acre heritage estate with a bar allowed, the other eight acres with 46 rooms and a dry policy. Here is the full picture, with every figure sourced and dated.

Deep Dive
The Tamarind Tree is five acres at Avalahalli, JP Nagar 9th Phase, off Kanakapura Road, about 17 km from MG Road by the venue's own distance table. It is built around a 400-year-old tamarind, a natural pond and a colonial Gazebo, and the whole property goes to one party at a time. The venue's own site says it was named Best Wedding Venue in India by WeddingSutra.
It works as a pure event space: catering is outside only, which gives you full freedom over the cook and the menu. Five spaces carry a wedding: the Gazebo & Lawn (600 seated, 1,500 floating on WedMeGood), the Pond Pavillion (200 seated under a roof), Athithishala (150), the Vishnu Mantapa (120) and the Heritage Villa. The 28 rooms sleep nearly 100, on the venue's own figure.
WedMeGood shows 4.8 across 34 reviews (checked 27 September 2026). The venue quotes its rental on request, so the budget is built from that quote plus your caterer's. Panigrahana designed Vikram and Kaamya's marigold wedding here; the story, with our photographs, is in our Tamarind Tree decor story.
Nature Knots is eight acres at Nrithyagram, Hesaraghatta Grass Farm, about 55 km and an hour from MG Road by the venue's own figure. It was the founder's family home and garden for two decades, and the planting shows it. Five spaces are named after raagas: Kedar, an indoor hall for 600 seated; Kalyani, an amphitheatre for 300; Maduvanti, the open lawn for 2,500-plus; Vasanta; and Abheri. Forty-six rooms in four blocks let the family stay on site (natureknots.in, checked 27 September 2026).
The operating model needs reading before you fall for the place. Your caterer cooks in a 3,500 sq ft pure-vegetarian kitchen, with non-vegetarian food prepared in a separate outdoor setup. WedMeGood lists the rental at ₹14,00,000 per function, taxes extra, records decor as in-house and says outside alcohol is not permitted. The venue publishes rainwater harvesting and solar power as its own commitments; they are not an independent certification.
