A lawn, open sky, and everyone.

Weddings and the days around them, birthdays, reunions, retreats and long lunches, on wide lawns in sight of the Daltonganj hills.

The yellow walk.

A canopied path of yellow and white drapes, garlanded at every post, built across the lawn for a wedding. Every gathering here is set up for its own day.

Anecdote · Chero Palamu

Every household had a butter churn turning.

That is how a local saying remembers the reign of Raja Medini Ray, after whom the town is now named. We plan every table in that spirit.

Locals once called Daltonganj Laltenganj, lantern town. After dark, the lawn keeps the name honest.

How it works

From a date to a lawn full of people.

  1. Write to us with a date, the occasion and roughly how many guests.
  2. Come and see it, or let us walk you round on a call.
  3. Shape the day: the lawn, the pool deck, the paths, rooms for those who stay.
  4. Arrive. The hills will be where we said they would.
ConditionsOctober to March is the season for gatherings here: clear evenings and cool nights. April and May are hot; in the rains the Koel can rise ten feet in three hours.
