| Our Pukka Place |
| Our Pukka Place reflects your hosts Praveen and Fiona’s outlook on life and is an extension of the same philosophy that informs their tour business Creative Arts Safaris… www.creative-arts-safaris.com Live, Laugh, Learn…. At Our Pukka Place, we want you to feel at home, the atmosphere is relaxed and happy here, unwind in a friendly, leafy environment… we can organize local connections to artisan’s workshops if you would like to learn some traditional arts and skills . Like our tours, we believe in good food and hope you are pleased with the efforts of our kitchen staff who will present you with a choice of delicious local cuisine or contemporary fusion tastes. Much of our interior design is based on the work of local craft’s people, we bespoke hand-block print fabrics for our bed linen and had our dining furniture fashioned by local iron workers...ask if you are interested in hearing more. Our hotel was originally called Shyama Resort, and was named in memory of a very remarkable woman, Dr Shyama. We have retained her name on our hotel in memory of her. April 10th is her birthday and this year 2009, is the 100th anniversary- may the inspiration of her good works live on! Dr Shyama graduated University of Indore in 1939 and went on to specialise in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, upon finishing her studies in 1942 she decided to start her practice in Pushkar, an area in need of her services. Dr Shyama spent her working life looking after the people and especially the women of this area, founding the maternity hospital next door, The Shyama Bagh Private Hospital and many other good deeds to help the local community. Her work is now carried on by her son Dr R.K. Bagh and his wife Mrs Reena Bagh. |
