Premium theme · Mandapam

Mandapam: a South Indian temple wedding website

Mandapam opens on a field of deep colour dotted like a kolam, with a lamp above “Sanjay weds Lakshmi” in an ivory serif and your photograph in a gold-lined frame. Below the opening the page turns to ivory, with a temple-border band between sections.

The events are set out as a dated programme, which suits a nichayathartham, a reception the evening before and an early muhurtham. It fits Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayali weddings, and is the richer, more ceremonial of the two South Indian themes.

Mandapam comes with Premium: ₹999, paid once for a wedding site, with no subscription. You can preview it on your own site in the editor before paying.

Questions about themes

Is this theme free?

No. It is one of five Premium themes. Premium costs ₹999, paid once for a wedding site: there is no subscription. It unlocks all five Premium themes, the animated opening, a guest photo wall and room for up to 500 guests. Royal, Modern Minimalist and South Indian Classic stay free.

Can I see it with my own names and photos before paying?

Yes. Start a free site, open the editor and pick the theme: it is shown on your own content as a preview. It is saved to your site, and shown to guests, once the site is on Premium.

Can I change the colours of the theme?

Yes. Every theme takes one of the curated palettes (Maroon & Gold, Navy & Rose, Sage & Cream, Emerald & Champagne, Blush & Brass, Ink & Gold): pick it in the editor and the whole site recolours. Layout and typography stay the theme’s.

Can I switch themes later without losing content?

Yes. Themes are layouts over the same content: your events, story, photos and guests carry over when you switch.

Can I hide sections I don’t need?

Yes. In the editor, hover any section and hide it; hidden sections don’t render on the public site and you can show them again any time.

Is the theme mobile-friendly?

Every theme is built mobile-first: most guests open the site inside WhatsApp on a phone, so that is the layout we design for first.
