Siraj Mahal

The terrace of the vast and magnificent Mardana Mahal can be accessed by two stairways and a wide ramp laid out with horizontal bands of coloured stones. There are therapeutic views of the changing pastoral countryside which grows millet, wheat and mustard.

This slender white room with a glass cube double bathroom placed in the middle, is an art gallery space where the sculptural murals of Indore born Siraj Saxena adorn the walls. The painter and ceramic artist has also worked on the arches outside the room which sits at the centre of a verandah laid out with the pattern of a royal durrie. He also works in graphics, textiles, metal and wood. The windows and the balcony of this room face the sunrise. It has a double bed making it ideal for a romantic couple.
