Krishen Mahal

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 of three square spaces linked by two wide arches honours Krishen Khanna a renowned banker-turned-painter who created his own style of figures to re-tell old mythologies as well as to honour common professions as truck labourers and band walls.
