Udaipur hosts a grand luxury wedding as Jennifer Lopez, international celebrities, and Donald Trump Jr. arrive for the opulent Mantena–Gadiraju celebration at Jagmandir Palace. The star-studded festivities showcase global glamour blended with royal heritage and spectacular performances.
Udaipur is preparing for a breath-taking celebration as one of the year’s most high-profile weddings unfolds across the city’s iconic heritage venues. The marriage of Netra Mantena (Elizabeth), daughter of American billionaire Rama Raju Mantena, and American-born groom Vamsi Gadiraju has drawn global attention, transforming the lake city into a hub of international celebrities, political leaders, and elite business families. The celebrations, which began earlier this week, will continue through November 24, marking one of the most extravagant destination weddings ever hosted in India.
A major highlight of the event will be the expected arrival of international pop superstar Jennifer Lopez, who is scheduled to perform at Manek Chowk on Saturday night. Her presence has added an extraordinary global sheen to the already glamorous festivities, making the event a cultural and entertainment spectacle unmatched in recent years.
Trump Jr. Arrives Amid Tight Security
Among the most notable VVIP attendees is Donald Trump Jr., who landed in Udaipur on Friday to attend the wedding ceremony scheduled for November 23 at the historic Jagmandir Island Palace. His arrival marked his first-ever visit to the picturesque city.
Trump Jr., accompanied by his girlfriend, received a spirited welcome from a large crowd at Dabok Airport. He briefly stepped outside the arrival gate to wave at cheering onlookers but returned inside due to the overwhelming rush near his vehicle. Following coordination between U.S. security agencies and local police, the crowd and media were moved back nearly 100 feet to ensure a seamless exit. He then re-emerged, walked to his car without disruption, and departed for his accommodation.
He is staying in the opulent Maharaja Suite, widely reported to cost nearly Rs 10 lakh per night, adding another layer of luxury to the already extravagant celebrations.
Pre-Wedding Festivities Light Up Udaipur
The week-long event has turned Udaipur into a vibrant cultural showcase. A lively Haldi ceremony took place at the iconic Taj Lake Palace, where family members and guests celebrated with traditional Rajasthani music and dance. The palace courtyard was decorated with marigold blooms, heritage motifs, and pastel fabrics, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a royal-era festival.
Later, Bollywood glamour took center stage at the City Palace. The evening saw energetic performances from leading film stars including Madhuri Dixit, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Kriti Sanon, each adding their signature style to the grand pre-wedding celebrations. The atmosphere remained electric as the stars entertained the distinguished audience with a mix of Bollywood classics and high-energy dance numbers.
A Galaxy of Celebrities Descends on the City
Throughout Friday, Udaipur continued to welcome a steady stream of celebrity arrivals. Filmmaker Karan Johar, actors Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and several other well-known personalities landed in the city, ready to participate in the extravagant events planned through the weekend. Their presence has amplified the city’s festive spirit, drawing attention from across India and beyond.
The most anticipated arrival, however, remains that of Jennifer Lopez, whose scheduled performance has generated excitement among guests and locals alike. Her appearance is expected to transform the celebration into a truly global entertainment spectacle, marking one of the rare occasions when a Hollywood pop icon performs at an Indian private event.
Jagmandir Shines as the Royal Venue of Choice
The primary wedding venue, Jagmandir Island Palace, located on the serene waters of Lake Pichola, has been lavishly transformed for the occasion. The palace is adorned with floral installations, royal chandeliers, intricate lighting, and grand stage décor inspired by a blend of Indian artistry and contemporary luxury. The venue’s regal ambience, combined with impeccable arrangements by international event planners, underscores the scale and opulence of the celebration.
Security has been heightened across the city, especially around the City Palace, Jagmandir, luxury hotels, and Manek Chowk. A strong presence of U.S. private security teams, local police, and intelligence personnel ensures smooth coordination for the movement of celebrities and dignitaries.
Udaipur at the Center of Global Glamour
As Udaipur hosts international guests, Bollywood stars, and world-renowned performers, the city once again proves its unmatched charm as one of the world’s premier luxury wedding destinations. Combining royal heritage with global glamour, the Mantena–Gadiraju wedding has placed Udaipur on the global map, showcasing India’s cultural beauty on an unforgettable scale.
