Fort Chanwa
Hotel
Fort Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of Elegance and Symmetry
in Indian architecture of the last century. The entire fortress is
carved out of the famous red sandstone of Jodhpur and with its ornately
carved latticework friezes and intricate Jherokas it exquisitely captures
the romance and grace of a bygone age.
The Chanwa Fort Luni is composed of a lyrical complex of courtyards,
towers, water-wheels, stables, passages and unexpected stairways to
secret pavilions and panoramic roof tops spanning the village below
and the Thar horizon beyond. The traditional paintings on the walls
harmoniously reflect the skill of the master craftsmen and the bygone
days.
The village of Luni nestles in the shadow of the Chanwa Fort walls
and is a hub of activity with its many artisans fashioning metal,
clay or wood into intricate forms and demonstrating the skills passed
down over the centuries by their ancestors.
The village elders solemnly reflect the changing times under shady
trees, while the children enjoy running around narrow carefree streets.
The women, swaying in their brilliant Rajasthani colours go about
their daily chores to give water and sustenance to the village.
The Chanwa Fort Luni has been beautifully restored to its former glory
by its owners Maharaj Dalip Singhji, the youngest son of H.H. Maharaja
Umaid Singhji and his wife Rani Madhu. Each room has been created
and decorated with its own particular charm and the many courtyards,
verandahs and gardens all offer a setting and ambiance set to capture
your heart.
