Rajasthan has a special place in every international traveller’s diary. Famed for its desert forts and safaris, brilliant palaces and mansions, spectacular temples and wildlife, Rajasthan attracts people from all corners of the globe. Whether to catch a glimpse of medieval ruins, or behold the dexterity of immaculate craftsmanship, or to soak in the old world charm, or to enchant oneself with the colourful bazaar – Rajasthan beckons one and all.

Shri Jasnath Asan is situated in the tiny village of Panchla Siddha, nestled in a 16th century medieval fort. It has a modern yet classical presence, offering the pursuit of inner peace and exploration. The campus is spread out over five noise-free acres rendered pleasant and amiable by the live concert of birds.

From the Kitchen

IMG_3100c-200x300

Rajasthan is a desert region so the insufficiency of water has a great impact on cooking practices. Yet there’s never a shortage of fantastic, vegetarian food. For example buttermilk and clarified butter are used instead of water. Food that lasts for several days without refrigeration is preferred such as sun-dried sangri, ker, kumat (local vegetables). Local vegetables are rich sources of minerals and vitamins as are the dried lentils and beans from indigenous plants. Don’t miss the delectable desserts and mouth-watering, spicy snacks- each region is renowned for its specialties. Cooking demonstrations are available and encouraged by the kitchen staff.
