This hotel is one such haveli. It is a living piece of art. Bedrooms are calm white while other rooms are saturated in shades of tangerine, turmeric and cobalt.

Jewellery designer Maria Grazia Baldan happened upon Deeppura Garh after years of neglect. Back in 2015, the ancestral home of Rao Raja Kalyan Singh Bahadur (1886-1967) was being used as a grain store by villagers. Despite the superficial disrepair, "I fell in love immediately,” she told me. It took a team of 150 artisans and workers 5 years to restore the building and grounds from ruin.
