THE HEART BEHIND THE HERITAGE
People Behind Sawai
Sawai Hospitality is a labour of love, nurtured by three generations of the royal family of Barli, who are deeply committed to preserving Rajasthan’s rich heritage while crafting soulful, authentic stays. It all began with the Late Rani Sahiba Sushila Kumari Ji, the visionary who started this journey by restoring her ancestral home, Fort Barli. Her dream was brought to life by Anirudh Rathore and Mandvi Ranawat, who worked tirelessly to ensure that each property reflects the warmth, authenticity, and regal charm of Rajasthan’s history. Thakur Saheb Umaid Singh Ji, a prominent leader in Rajasthan's tourism evolution, played a pivotal role in bringing global attention to local heritage, with Vinay Kumari Ji contributing significantly to preserving and promoting the region's cultural legacy. Today, the next generation - Divyraj and Nityasri Rathore, Devraj & Satkriti Singh—... continue to shape the future of Sawai Hospitality, blending modern innovation with timeless traditions to create experiences that honour the past while embracing the future.
