Once you've decided to join Shiv Parvati Vivah 2027, the practical questions start — how to actually get there, what the weather's like, and what on earth to pack for four days that range from sunrise yoga to a Vedic wedding ceremony. Here's a straight answer to all of it.
Getting There
- Included transport: Delhi to Delhi travel by Maharaja Traveller is built into the package — the simplest option if you don't want to arrange your own transport.
- Flying in: If you'd rather fly, pickup from Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport is included as part of the package.
- By train: Rishikesh and Yog Nagari Rishikesh railway stations are both well-connected, if rail travel suits your plans better.
- By road independently: Rishikesh is roughly 6-7 hours from Delhi by road, if you'd prefer to drive yourself or arrange separate transport.
What March Weather in Rishikesh Is Actually Like
Expect pleasant, sunny days and cool evenings by the river — genuinely comfortable weather for an outdoor, multi-day celebration, though temperatures do drop noticeably once the sun sets. Carry a light jacket or shawl for evening events (the Ganga Sandhya, Sangeet and reception all run into the evening), and sunscreen plus sunglasses for the daytime sessions, since March sun at this elevation is stronger than it looks.
What to Pack
- Comfortable footwear and yoga wear, for the sunrise sessions and general riverside walking
- A light jacket or shawl, essential for cool evenings by the river
- A dupatta or scarf for temple visits, if you're adding any optional sightseeing
- Valid photo ID for check-in
- A reusable water bottle
- Personal medicines, as you would for any multi-day trip away from home
Dress Code, Day by Day
This is the detail most first-time attendees ask about, since it genuinely shifts across the four days:
| Event | Suggested Colours |
|---|
| Haldi (Day 1) | Shades of yellow |
| Ganga Sandhya (Day 1) | White or pastels |
| Mehendi (Day 2) | Greens and bright colours |
| Sangeet (Day 2) | Festive Indian wear |
| Baraat & Vivah (Day 3) | Reds, maroons, gold and ivory |
| Reception (Day 3) | Royal Indian wear |
| Farewell Day (Day 4) | Comfortable travel wear |
A practical note for Day 1 specifically: wear something you genuinely don't mind getting turmeric on during the Haldi ceremony — it's meant to be a joyful, slightly messy event, not a tidy photo-op.
Good to Know Before You Go
- Mehendi takes time to dry and set — keep your morning relaxed on Day 2 rather than planning anything that needs full hand mobility right after.
- Sunrise yoga is gentle and open to all levels — no prior yoga experience is needed to join.
- Photography during the Vivah ceremony follows the priests' guidance, since it's a genuine ritual, not a staged photo session — dancing and celebration during the Baraat, on the other hand, is actively encouraged.
- All bhojan (meals) is pure satvik — no onion, no garlic — across all four days. See our satvik food guide for what that actually means and what's on the menu.
Extending Your Trip
Rishikesh itself has plenty to add on either side of the event, available on request at extra cost: the evening Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, temple visits (the 13-storey Tera Manzil temple near Lakshman Jhula, or Neelkanth Mahadev in the hills), river rafting with licensed operators, and a forest walk to the turquoise pools of Neer Garh Waterfall. If you're planning to arrive early or stay on, mention it when you register so it can be built into your itinerary properly.
