Chandelaogarh- an age old preserved heritage

The family & their Story

Chandelaogarh is more than a heritage hotel. It is a family home that has witnessed generations of Rajasthan’s history.

Its courtyards, architecture and old walls carry the story of the family, but what keeps that heritage alive is the family’s continuing relationship with the village and community around them.

Here, preservation is not about freezing the past. It is about giving heritage a meaningful place in the present.

The Stay

Historic architecture, peaceful courtyards and traditional spaces have been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary comfort while retaining the character of the ancestral home.

Founded in 2007 by Ms. Kristin G. Andresen and Th. Praduman Singh, Sunder Rang began as a small initiative to support the women of Chandelao through skill development and fair, dignified work. What started with a handful of artisans has grown into a vibrant craft collective that combines traditional techniques with contemporary design, creating sustainable livelihoods and financial independence for rural women. you can choose to spend some time in  Sundar Rang with the ladies and learn about what they are doing.
