The Silver Award for the Indian Responsible Tourism State Awards Rajasthan 2022 - Heritage Conservation went to Indra Vilas!

Spread across a ten-acre compound, Indra Vilas is the largest Haveli in the Shekhawati region. Not only have the owners successfully restored their Haveli by maintaining a big part of the original structure and features, they have also worked in preserving the exquisite art in two nearby temples.
