One of those afternoons, I stumbled upon a treasure. "Mali Nathji ka Dhora", the sacred dune
dedicated to
the Warrior God Hero of Marwar, was a place of breathtaking beauty. Sprinkled with historical importance
and
mythology, this dune seemed to speak to me. Many happy days passed by as I sat there, mesmerized,
watching
the perfectly choreographed dance of the shrubs and the gentle desert winds. When I would head home, a
wondering would accompany me, "How do I share this precious gift with others?"
While growing up, the question answered itself. In fact, it became an image. How would it be to build a
fort
here… an edifice emerging out of the golden sands of the desert ? One of those evenings when Rashmi, my
wife
(and soul mate), and I were standing at the dune and soaking in the splendid sunset, inspiration struck.
The
image, so undefined until then, started becoming clear. Wide strokes and clean architectural lines
seemed
to
make their presence prominent in our minds. Mihir Garh, the Fort of the Sun, was conceived that day.
Guided by intuition, rather than reason; inspired by emotions, rather than rationale, bit by bit we gave
our
dream a form. More than a hundred carpenters, craftsmen and artisans from the region have worked
tirelessly
along with us, over two years to make our dream a reality. Harsh summers have not stopped them from
creating
a fort par excellence.
We visualized and they realized - every nook and corner of Mihir Garh was taken care of together. Rashmi
has
personally designed everything from the colour schemes and combinations to the last door knob and
curtain
holder. In 2009, when Mihir Garh was completed, we realized that with the help of our very talented team
we
had achieved something very special… A haven where the glorious past rubs shoulders with the
contemporary
chic, to give you the experience of a life time.
This fort holds nine magnificent suites. Each one is more than 1700 square feet of pure luxury. Private
Jacuzzi's or plunge pools with each suite, re-define the word indulgence. Numerous alcoves, lounges and
common areas commanding spectacular views have been designed to experience intimacy - with yourself and
another. Our team at Mihir Garh is hand picked, motivated and eager, ensuring the highest level of
service
and hospitality that complement the magnificence of Mihir Garh.
From village safaris to royal picnics, from the novel experience of riding some of the finest specimens
of
Marwari horses, to watching a pronking Antelope, or simply gazing at the magnificent night sky after a
Shikar Dinner, Mihir Garh will keep you yearning for more. And just when you feel you have experienced
everything there was to experience, it may surprise you with something... something new to wonder upon.
