The temple towns in India are known for their spiritual and holy atmosphere. They are rich in religious history and hence allure several visitors. They see heavy traffic of pilgrims around the year while also hosting a substantial population of tourists. These towns are also often popular destinations to host weddings as they lend an auspicious setting to holy matrimony. We have listed down some of the most famous temple towns where you can host your dream wedding and kick start the newest chapter in your life.

Located in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir on the foothills of the Trikuta Mountains, Katra is a religious town, home to the famous Vaishno Devi Temple. The town serves as a base camp for pilgrims who wish to undertake the trek to the holy shrine. The spiritual ambience of the town and the presence of several banquet venues make it a perfect destination to host weddings. One of the most elegant wedding venues in Katra that you will find is Summit at The Vaishnodevi Sarovar Portico. The hall can host a crowd of almost 100 people and is laced with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, projectors and audio-visual equipment.

The holy city of Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh is nestled on the banks of the holy River Ganges. Har Ki Pauri is the key attraction of this town. It is one of the holiest ghats in the city where devotees come to offer their prayers to the spiritual river, as it exits the Himalayan foothills. Set in a landscape surrounded by the green mountains, Haridwar is an ideal destination to tie the knot. Our hotel Ambrosia Sarovar Portico is home to exquisite wedding halls in Haridwar to make your perfect wedding come true.

Mathura and Vrindavan are important pilgrimages for the Hindus. Both these destinations are related to the Hindu God Lord Krishna. While Mathura is known to be the birthplace of Krishna, Vrindavan is where he spent his childhood.

Standing mighty on the convergence point of the Kapila, Hiran and Saraswati rivers, the temple adorns intricately carved honey-coloured domes and walls. This holy city is yet another significant pilgrimage site for Hindus. The city of Somnath basks in the spiritual ambience of this temple.
