Among many palaces that dot India, Falaknuma is one of the grandest palaces we have ever seen. There is something truly charming about this magical property. \u00a0More than a hundred years old, each area of the palace was planned ahead of its time and very well executed. The palace has lots of hidden treasures and every little element has a story to tell.<\/p>\n<p style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><a href=\\\"http:\/\/marrymeweddings.in\/wpblog\/planning-a-royal-wedding-at-taj-falaknuma-palace.html\/taj-falaknuma-palace-hyderabad\\\" rel=\\\"attachment wp-att-8637\\\"><img class=\\\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8637\\\" title=\\\"Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad\\\" src=\\\"http:\/\/marrymeweddings.in\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Taj-Falaknuma-Palace-Hyderabad.jpg\\\" alt=\\\"Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad\\\" width=\\\"525\\\" height=\\\"355\\\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The palace has several venues to offer with a combination of indoor and outdoor options for hosting a wedding. You will be taken aback by the Neo-Classical style entrance the Clock Gate which is just a prelude to the actual palace. Guests are received with honour and are transferred to the palace in a royal horse drawn carriage. The driveway to the palace is long and is sided by lawns and well landscaped spaces. \u2018Falaknuma\u2019 the term means, \u2018Mirror of the sky\u2019 and hence you will see a lot of celestial elements in the design and architecture. .
