Inside Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju’s Extravagant Celebration
For the past few days, the world’s spotlight has been fixed on Udaipur, where billionaire heiress Netra Mantena married New York–based tech entrepreneur Vamsi Gadiraju in one of the most opulent Indian weddings of the year. Set against the serene lakes and palatial grandeur of Rajasthan's most romantic city, the three-day celebration was a breathtaking fusion of heritage, glamour, and star-studded entertainment.
The festivities began on 21 November, with traditional haldi and mehendi ceremonies hosted at the iconic Taj Lake Palace, followed by a high-energy sangeet held at the historic City Palace complex. Guests were welcomed into a world of royal splendor—glittering courtyards, floating mandaps, live performances, and curated design elements that showcased the best of Indian luxury weddings.
One of the most unforgettable highlights came during the sangeet, where global superstar Jennifer Lopez delivered a show-stopping concert. With multiple costume changes, dancers, and dramatic staging, Jennifer Lopez performed some of her most famous hits. Her appearance set an unprecedented tone of grandeur and entertainment, cementing this celebration’s place among the most talked-about weddings of the year.
The wedding ceremony itself took place on 23 November at the majestic Jagmandir Island Palace - a 17th-century architectural marvel rising from the waters of Lake Pichola. Surrounded by illuminated domes, marble sculptures, and a serene lakescape, Netra and Vamsi exchanged vows in a setting that felt straight out of a royal epic.
For her big day, Netra wore a classic Sabyasachi red lehenga, choosing a timeless look that radiated elegance. Her makeup featured a glowy matte base, smoky brown-toned eyes, bold lashes, and flawless eyeliner - glamorous yet rooted in tradition. The groom, co-founder and CTO of Superorder, complemented the grandeur with a regal wedding ensemble befitting the royal venue.
Netra, the daughter of Orlando-based Rama Raju Mantena, chairman and CEO of Ingenus Pharmaceuticals, embodied joy and poise throughout the celebrations. From the intimate rituals at Taj Lake Palace to the lavish receptions at The Leela Palace and Jagmandir Island Palace, the wedding was a seamless blend of family heritage and world-class hospitality.
With its star-studded performances, iconic venues, and exquisite cultural symbolism, the wedding of Netra Mantena and Vamsi Gadiraju has become a benchmark for luxury celebrations—not just in India, but globally. It was not merely a union of two families, but a spectacle of love, legacy, and unforgettable artistry.
