Sprawling over 32 acres at the fringe of the Badlands of India, Lakshman Sagar was built in the late 19th century as a hunting lodge by the then Thakur of Raipur, Lakshman Singh Ji to host other noble families and British emissaries. As a continuation of the hospitality and traditions of the house of Raipur, Kunwar Manavjeet Singh Raipur has envisioned a Getaway much like his forefather Thakur Lakshman Singh Ji, though with a conservationist view of his heritage and surroundings, all manifested through the endless details in the architecture & design, the cuisine, and the well thought of activities & non-activities tailored personally for his guests in a captivating natural topography ideal for mindless relaxation.
Architects Vasant and Revathy Kamath conceptualised twelve Shikar Ghars of about 1200 sq.ft. each as villas for guests. The Mardana and Zanana sections have books, music and other comfortable seating arrangements where guests are welcome to lounge during mealtimes or otherwise: there is no conventional demarcated dining area nor fixed menu system.
Architects Vasant and Revathy Kamath conceptualised five Shikar Ghars of about 900 sq.ft. each as villas for guests. The Mardana and Zanana sections have books, music and other comfortable sitting arrangements where guests are welcome to lounge during mealtimes or otherwise: there is no conventional demarcated dining area or fixed menu system. The unique experience that Lakshman Sagar offers guests comprises of live cooking, music and fireworks at an isolated spot. The location looks up at the lit-up Fatehgarh fort and is reached by Bullock cart. Guests may also dine on a float in our private lake with a similar ambiance.
Rather than attempt a façade of rebuilding a misunderstood grandeur of bygone days, an attempt has been made to integrate the property into the existing environs using indigenous material and techniques of construction including mud and stone under the guidance of the famous husband-wife architect team of Revathi & Vasant Kamath.
Guests may choose their own private dining and lounging spaces in the restored Zanana & Mardana section from the choicest of Rajasthani cuisine Raipur has been known for in all of Marwar, or a few other minimal international options. Other special dining options include a dinner on the lake or a visit to Raipur Fort for a lunch and walk-through with Kunwar Manavjeet Singh Raipur showcasing all the family memorabilia.
