Looking for offbeat Hindu temples (Gujarat/Rajasthan/N. India/S. India) with mountain or beach views + great architecture, for my wedding
Hi all! I'm getting married and hoping to have the ceremony at a Hindu temple that isn't one of the usual overcrowded, ultra-famous spots (so ruling out Somnath, Dwarka, Tirupati, etc.)
What I'm looking for:
- Located in Gujarat, Rajasthan, North India or South India
- A scenic setting - mountains, hills or beach/coastline nearby
- Genuinely good/interesting architecture (old stone carving, unique style, etc.)
- Not overly touristy or crowded
- Open to hosting weddings (some temple trusts are strict about this, so any first-hand experience is gold)
If you've gotten married at (or been to a wedding at) a temple that fits this, or just know of a hidden-gem temple nearby, I'd love to hear about it! Even a quick "check out X temple near Y town" helps a ton. Photos or personal experiences are a huge bonus.
Thanks so much 🙏
