The Mardana rooms are built around a spacious garden court ringed on three sides by spectacular arcade halls. These had never been completed and large rocks had to be hand-chiselled to create linear living spaces. The thick walls were pierced to make balconies with views of the countryside. Each room has two or three square rooms linked with wide arches and the facilities are discreetly tucked within.

This long room with three square spaces linked with two wide arches honours Gaurav Gupta, whose fashion detail and feminity marry the best of India and France. His room will display his embroideries, sculpture and embellished footwear that even Cinderella would have cherished!
