I live a dream and I invite you to my dream. Carefully crafted with a subtle blend of the classical and the modern, my place is perfect for a group (or just the romantics) wanting to get away from it all and wanting a small palace to themselves. I lovingly designed this place and called it home... and thought I would open it up to guests. My village is between Jodhpur and Udaipur and is a great insight into the rural life that India is so famous for. The space Our Home in Deogarh, Rajasthan, is a divine blessing. Upon the guidance from our Guru, we came back to Deogarh to build this property . The concept, the inspiration, the effort, the funds and finally the residence have all been a blessing. We opened the place for our guests in the autumn of 2015, and hope to share this gift with you. A boutique Homestay in Deogarh, Rajasthan the place is situated on the edge of the Ragho Sagar lake with the Gokul Fort at the far end, perched on a hill. The sun rises over the Fort streaming through palm trees where the swimming pool is situated. The large verandah overlooking the lawn stretches out to the water infusing a sense of calm. The lake plays host to a large variety of migratory birds in the winter- welcome visitors !!! The place has been constructed in a traditional haveli style with deep verandahs, pretty courtyards of Rajput architecture and influence. The interiors are airy and spacious, and the décor has a contemporary twist. In the words of one of the guests “gone is the musty, dusty feel so often associated with traditional rural properties”. The central courtyard is lovely to soak in the warm sun or sit by the cauldron of fire on the cold winter evenings. As the sun sets one hears the villagers returning to their homes with their cows and goats, a golden time of day referred to locally as “gaudhuli”. All the bedrooms offer views of the gardens, some with sit-outs and others with bay windows (gokhras). Guest access Its a Homestay & guest can have access to all the places in our home, We would request the guests to advise us if they have an aversion to dogs, so that we can put them in the room. Being an open area ,its advisable to clad yourself in accordance to the season, the pool is available to the guest and is of 4 Ft. depth. It is thus advisable to have parental supervision of children swimming in the pool. Other things to note We have a very interesting rural train. Rural ramble/ Jeep safari details can also be accessed there. We can arrange for a local masseur for men and women , henna on the hands, cooking demonstration, yoga session in the morning and lovely nature walks and hikes in the udulating Aravalli hills. The adjacent colourful village is great for walking and exploring the textiles/ antique and silver jewellery shops and local spice and utensil shops as well. Also daytrips to Ranakpur (the famous Jain temples),and Kumbhalgarh (the imposing Fort) are easy to organise at an additional charge.
