AS INDIA REIMAGINES ITS PAST THROUGH ADAPTIVE REUSE, NEW HERITAGE STAYS OFFER TRAVELLERS A CHANCE TO HELP PRESERVE IT...

- SRUSHTI KULKARNI

HAT if your next hotel stay wasn't just about a plush bed and good Wi-Fi, but a way of doing your bit to help conserve our Indian heritage?

In India, however, a powerful counter-movement is unfolding, not in museums or monuments, but in bedrooms with carved ceilings and hallways that echo centuries of stories.
