    Ever since the news of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's hush-hush wedding broke, there's been a lot of interest around their wedding venue in Rajasthan which happens to be a fort situated in Chauth Ka Barwara village.

    The grand palace Six Senses Fort Barwara will host the much talked about wedding of Kaif and Kaushal. Of course, for a special wedding like this, the venue has to be equally splendid and as it happens, this one's also very "royal".

    This beautiful 14th-century fort has been converted to become a Six Senses sanctuary of well-being.

    The palace resort was originally owned by a Rajasthani Royal Family and faces the Chauth ka Barwara Mandir temple. The significant conservation effort incorporates two palaces and two temples within the walled royal fort, the property website says. The design of Six Senses resort itself has a majestic history behind it as it reinterprets the gracious and regal ambiance of a bygone era dating back 700 years.
