Intricately crafted by traditional artisans from Udaipur, the hand-painted walls depict local flora and fauna alongside traditional accessories, drawing the gaze as guest’s transition into the cozy, pink[1]themed area. White marble square tiles, interspersed with yellow Jaisalmer stone inserts, compose the flooring. Individually crafted from naturally polished mango wood with a rustic paint finish, low-back seaters complement the space, while coffee tables made from camel bones and epoxy boast brass legs for added elegance. Jute fabrics in monochrome, blue, and pink hues adorn the furnishings and cushions, sourced from various online brands.
The blue theme, inspired by the azure hues of Rajasthan’s Udaipur, is encapsulated within an 18-foot-high area featuring a ceiling crafted from aged stone slabs adorned with mural paintings.
Positioned at the heart of this spacious setting is a handcrafted marble fountain resting atop yellow Jaisalmer stone flooring, with decorative jharokhas positioned at the apex.
The 12-foot-long bar, fashioned from plywood, boasts black granite counter on top and showcases a pattern of closely spaced stainless steel pipes on its front. Plywood and glass shelves complete the bar’s construction, adding to its elegance and functionality.
