Life Positive has always made a difference in people's lives, guiding them forever on their spiritual paths by offering valuable insights and holistic healing via retreats and getaways to rejuvenate the mind and soul. Forging ahead in this endeavour, we are proud to announce our upcoming residential wellness retreat for Self-realisation at Ramgarh Shekhawati, situated in the royal state of Rajasthan, from the 14th to the 18th of October 2023.
Rajasthan. What an incredible palette! It's simply fascinating how the vivid hues of Bandhej (tie and dye art) knots and Leheriya stripes enliven this nude brown state full of camels and sand dunes; how hot days mellow into cool breezy evenings and then nap in warm, orange sunsets. Streets bustle with bright turbans and glittering zari poshaks as the enticing scent of red chillies and spices waft through the desert air, imprinting it heavily with tradition and heritage, across lanes and alleys. And of course, the extravagant moustache seen here is unmissable! Lavish and long, those winding curves tell a rich tale of kings and princes, culture and folklore, woven deeply into the Rajasthani heritage; all birthed in opulent palaces, formidable forts, and enchanting havelis that ornament Rajasthan.
The rich heritage of Ramgarh
Ramgarh Shekhawati is one such jewel tucked in the Aravallis. It is a decorated town in the district of Sikar, Rajasthan. Known for its ancient havelis, cenotaphs (chhatris) and exquisite frescos, Ramgarh Shekhawati is a historic marvel one must visit. Founded by the Poddar family in 1791, Ramgarh emerged as one of the richest towns in the 18th and 19th centuries, developed by the wealthy seths (businessmen), also called 'Ramgarh Sethan.'
