In the heart of Patiala, behind the towering gateways of the historic Qila Mubarak, lies a hidden jewel that many are yet to discover—Ran Baas, The Palace. A proud member of the globally acclaimed Relais & Châteaux family, Ran Baas is a striking blend of centuries-old heritage and modern-day luxury, making it one of the most unexplored yet awe-inspiring wedding venues in India today.

Originally built as the residence of the queens—“Raaniyo Ka Vaas”—Ran Baas is steeped in regal history and architectural grandeur. Meticulously restored to preserve its 300-year-old legacy, the palace stands today as a breathtaking homage to royal Punjabi culture. Each element of the structure, from intricately carved wooden doors to majestic arches, and hand-painted ceilings to sandstone courtyards, has been preserved with reverence and revived with elegance.

What sets Ran Baas apart is its authenticity. Unlike heavily commercialized palace venues, this property retains its quiet dignity and old-world charm. The interiors speak volumes of tradition while being seamlessly equipped to host modern celebrations—whether it’s a destination wedding, an intimate royal buyout, or a cultural milestone.

As a wedding destination, it offers more than just a venue. Picture a bride walking down the grand stone corridor beneath antique chandeliers, or pheras taking place in a sunlit courtyard framed by heritage jharokhas and floral installations. The palace becomes a living, breathing backdrop for memories that are nothing short of cinematic.

Our Editor Farvi Wadhwa recently visited the property, along with a few wedding planners. They experienced a guided property tour, elegant high tea, live classical music, and a royal cocktail dinner—further showcasing its potential as a venue that can deliver unforgettable luxury celebrations. From the thoughtful hospitality to the atmosphere steeped in regal romance, it was clear: Ran Baas is ready to step into the limelight.

For couples looking to celebrate their union in a space that feels sacred, historic, and truly majestic—Ran Baas is not just a venue, it’s a narrative. One that’s intimate, powerful, and unapologetically royal.

Verdict:
A timeless treasure tucked away in Punjab, Ran Baas is poised to become one of India’s most sought-after heritage wedding destinations. Regal, rare and real—this palace is everything a grand celebration deserves and more.
