Rajan & Mehak's story
From classmates to soulmates—celebrate with us in the Himalayas.
Our love story began sixteen years ago in the beautiful Shimla Hills, walking to school together as children. What started with shared homework and shy smiles grew into a bond of friendship, trust, and deep love. Today, I am a Nursing Officer, he is a businessman, and we are ready to tie the knot in a vibrant traditional Himachali wedding.
Our venue isn’t a banquet hall—it’s nature itself, where folk music fills the air, and the scent of local delicacies warms the heart. Dance nati with us, wear traditional colorful shawl, taste the flavors of the mountains, and be part of rituals passed down for generations.
Through “Join My Wedding,” we’re opening our celebration to guests from around the globe to enjoy our traditional wedding at SHIMLA HILLS
This is more than a wedding—it’s a journey into love, culture, and the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas. Walk with us, and take a piece of our story home with you. 💛

Laughter, music, and playful teasing fill the air. Then comes the lively Sangeet night, where everyone gathers to sing folk songs, dance nati under the stars, and share stories of love and family.

The wedding day comes alive with the Baraat Swagat, where the groom arrives in a grand procession of music, drums, and dancing guests.

Soon, the celebration turns into an explosion of joy with dance, from traditional Himachali nati to Bollywood beats—everyone joins in! As the day ends, emotions run high during the Doli Vidai, when I leave my family home as a bride, carried in a beautifully decorated palanquin. It’s a bittersweet farewell, filled with tears, blessings, and love, marking the beginning of our new journey together. 💛
