The mandap is where sacred vows are spoken and your new chapter begins. Because it is the most photographed structure of the entire wedding, design choices matter tremendously. In Pune, wedding mandaps have evolved into breathtaking architectural works of art that honor tradition while reflecting modern aesthetics.
Top Mandap Design Archetypes
- South Temple Pillar Mandap: Replicating temple carvings with antique brass lamps, bells, and jasmine garlands
- Transparent Glass & Acrylic Mandap: Sleek, see-through pillars that allow natural outdoor garden scenery to show through
- The Dome of Flowers: An unbroken spherical floral ceiling suspended above the agni kund with fairy-light drapery
- Rustic Boho Mandap: Natural driftwood or bamboo frames accented with pampas grass, white roses, and terracotta urns
Mandap Planning Checklist
- Unobstructed sightlines: Ensure guests seated in back rows have clear views of the ceremony without giant pillar obstructions
- Smoke extraction ventilation: Ample airflow so sacred fire (havan) smoke does not irritate the couple and pandit’s eyes
- Comfortable havan seating: Velvet cushions and ergonomic low-backed wooden seating for the couple and parents
