The Kot
Be charmed by the stories that lay in store at this Boutique Heritage Homestay in a little Rajasthani village. Dhundhara has withstood the test of time. From unknown antiquity going far beyond a thousand years.
The village of Dhundhara stood strong against attack from Shahbaaz Khan (Emperor Akbar’s General) to being plundered by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, during the Marwar war.
The British Raj changed its original name from Dhundhara to Dunara.
In Rajasthan, Rawla or Kot refers to the home of the local chief and most villages will have one. The first of the family to inherit the Kot was Thakur Bhabhoot Singh, a hundred and eighty years ago, who restored the grand entrance to where it stands today, and six generations down the line, the family has opened its doors for you. Take a guided walk around Dhundhara to experience pure Rajasthan at this boutique heritage homestay.
The Rajputs have left a strong mark in Indian history. They have always supported the vibrant heritage so that art, music, and sculpture would flourish. The Rathore Rajput warrior clan stands strong keeping their inherited virtues of courage, chivalry, and most of all hospitality.
Forget about the every day and drift away in Dhundhara’s history at this Boutique homestay.
The grand bastions welcome you to this ancient Kot, which has been opened up for you as a boutique heritage hotel. The opulence of the entrance is inverse to the rustic simplicity inherent in the earth of Rajasthan used to build this boutique homestay.
