Indian princely scion Kunwar Dhruv Raj Singh of Doongri is currently hogging the limelight for his multi-day wedding celebration. Recently, 40-year-old Kunwar Dhruv Raj Singh, who is a descendant of the old Rajput noble family of Doongri, tied the knot with 35-year-old Countess Marie von und zu Eltz. However, it was the couple’s rainbow-hued wedding that stole the spotlight. In fact, the pair’s wedding venue, St. Paul's Conversion Church, is rooted in rich traditions.

According to reports, Kunwar Dhruv Raj Singh got married to Countess Marie von und zu Eltz on July 12, 2026, in Austria. The Indian-European couple chose St. Paul's Conversion Church as their wedding venue. It is worth mentioning that St. Paul’s Conversion was a popular site for pilgrims during medieval times. The royal pair celebrated their big day last weekend in the mountains of Bad Aussee just beneath the Ramsau ski lift.

The couple’s civil wedding beautifully blended traditional Indian culture and classic European bridal fashion. At their civil wedding, Marie dazzled in a classic white silk satin gown. It featured a fitted bodice with a wide V-neckline flanked by soft, draped off-the-shoulder fabric sleeves. She also sported a bridal veil and completed her bridal look with diamond stud earrings and a necklace. While Kunwar kept his look entirely royal by wearing a long, knee-length, tailored navy blue sherwani and sported a rainbow-hued turban.

The groom wore a light-blue neck ribbon hosting a royal medal and sported a ceremonial royal sword.

From sacred Hindu rituals to a church ceremony in the Austrian Alps, the Indian-European couple’s wedding is a perfect example of royal tradition.
