Padmavathi Kalyana Mantapa

Padmavathi is on Pattanagere Main Road in BHEL Layout, about 3 km from Nayandahalli. There are two halls: a main hall built for the large wedding, and a separate dining hall, so the meal does not happen in the room where the ceremony just was.

Neither hall is air-conditioned. That suits November to February and is a real question in April and May, so ask what ventilation they provide for your date.

Outside caterers and outside decorators are both allowed, and the venue provides no food. Alcohol is not permitted, including your own. The listed policy is vegetarian only, so confirm that before you plan a menu.

Parking is listed at around a hundred vehicles, which is tight for a wedding this size on a peak Sunday. There is no lift, so ask what the arrangement is for elderly guests. Walk through the toilet block yourself; it is the thing recent visitors have complained about.
