This Nawalgarh haveli is a confluence of Rajasthani architecture and European design
In the ochre lanes of Shekhawati, Rajasthan, the Jaipuriya Haveli in Nawalgarh has been brought back to life as the Vivaana Museum Hotel. Built in 1925 by Seth Anandram Jaipuria, the haveli was almost lost to demolition before heritage conservationist Atul Khanna stepped in.
"The Jaipuriya family had sold it to a builder set to demolish it, but I found it just in time and fell in love with its architecture," he recalls.

It must become a national habit — woven into everyday life, public policy and collective aspiration. As India steps forward to host major international events, including the 2030 Commonwealth Games, the debate naturally emerges: Do bids alone create a sporting nation? As someone who has lived this journey — as an athlete, mentor and now administrator — I can say this with conviction: bidding is not the culmination; it is the beginning.
