This unique setting makes it a standout choice for event planners looking to create an experience that is both engaging and culturally enriching, far removed from the standard urban venue. The property's design meticulously recreates a Rajasthani hamlet, complete with mud-plastered walls, decorative motifs, and open courtyards that serve as stages for a continuous stream of entertainment. Guests can witness captivating puppet shows, be mesmerized by traditional Ghoomar and Kalbelia dancers, enjoy camel and bullock cart rides, or try their hand at village games.
