Haryana is set to transform the historic Yadavindra Gardens in Pinjore and the scenic Tikkar Taal in Morni Hills into a modern wedding destination. The state's Tourism Department will renovate both sites at a cost of Rs 90 crore, following international standards.
CM Nayab Singh Saini's directions for wedding destination project
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini issued the directions during a high-level review meeting with senior officers of the Tourism Department on Friday evening. According to The Tribune, the CM directed that a modern "One-Stop Destination for Weddings" be developed near Yadavindra Garden. The project aims to create an additional source of revenue for the Tourism Department.
Restoration and renovation plans for tourist sites
Under the project, a proposal has been prepared to undertake the restoration, renovation, and modernisation of both key tourist destinations. The initiative is expected to give a significant boost to tourism in Haryana while generating employment opportunities at the local level and substantially increasing the state's revenue, said a government spokesperson.
Aligned with PM Modi's 'Wed in India' vision
The development is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Wed in India' vision, which encourages hosting weddings within the country to boost local economies and tourism. The project will create a dedicated space for weddings near the historic Yadavindra Gardens, making it a complete destination for wedding events.

Our Take: A smart move for Haryana tourism
This project makes good sense. Yadavindra Gardens is already a popular tourist spot, and adding a wedding destination nearby will attract more visitors and generate steady revenue. The Rs 90 crore investment could pay off well if managed properly. The focus on local employment is also a positive step. However, the key will be execution — ensuring the renovation maintains the historic charm of the gardens while adding modern facilities. If done right, this could become a model for other states looking to boost wedding tourism.
