Vedaaranya Haveli joins Healing Hotels of the World

COLOGNE, Germany - Jan. 24, 2020 - PRLog -- The Vedaaranya Haveli in the historical town of Ramgarh Shekhawati in Rajasthan, India, has become the latest hotel to join Healing Hotels of the World. The 10-room boutique hotel has been lovingly renovated by Dr. Shruti Nada Poddar, an entrepreneur, educator and healer who returned to her family's ancestral roots in an effort to bring tourism to this remote, untouched and unspoilt region. A haveli is a traditional Indian heritage abode situated around a courtyard, with the structure allowing energy to flow and merge at the heart of the space.

"'Vedaaranya' means 'the Vedic forest,' and Vedic means 'the idea of oneness in diversity,' while a forest is a space where many life forms coexist in harmony,' says Dr. Poddar. "Thus Vedaaranya Haveli is that magical space which fulfils the senses, calms the mind and body, and gives you a universe of love, healing and fulfilment in a haven of heritage."

Dr. Poddar has been instrumental in the preservation of the intricate architecture and detailed frescoes that decorate the walls, ceilings and domes of the historical region – most of which were developed in the 1800s, when Ramgarh Shekhawati was an important stop on the Silk Road. Mostly abandoned in the 1930s, the town has been brought back to life thanks to Dr. Poddar's efforts, combined with her work with the government of Rajasthan to bring the area's tourism potential into sharp focus.

"Ramgarh Shekhawati is a special destination for healing, and the beautiful Vedaaranya Haveli is at the heart of that healing experience," says Anne Biging, Co-Founder of the Healing Hotels of the World. "But beyond that, the work that Shruti has done to help – and heal – the local community make this an outstanding example of the qualities we look for in a Healing Hotel."

"Shruti is a healer at heart, and that shows in her work at the Vedaaranya Haveli," says Elisabeth Ixmeier, Co-Founder of the Healing Hotels of the World. "The impact of her work on the region is enormous, but she also wants to extend that healing environment to the guests visiting the haveli. This is a truly magical place."
