elegance. The way to the fort's main entrance is through the inside
of the village, which can be covered from the highway by a camel
safari, with the locals welcoming the guests with smiles and
thrilling expressions. The inside of the fort reflectsexpressions
of the medieval architecture that is renovated a bit for the
oriental formality. The open courtyards in the centre has separate
wings on the sides that extends to 43 spacious rooms & suites having
private balconies and views. The walls are in
warm colours to

art with traditional
artefacts. The Durbar

most beautifully
painted chambers with glass & minakari work and the same goes for
the private restricted spaces- meant for the "zannanis", women of
the family.
