Fateh Bagh Palace is a testament to how ancient Vedic principles can seamlessly merge with modern sustainability practices in the hospitality industry.
The palace, built on 51 Vedic Principles, demonstrates that traditional wisdom can create business models that are environmentally conscious and financially viable while preserving Indian cultural heritage. Through the efforts made in innovative waste management, energy conservation, and wildlife preservation, the palace has created a model for luxury hospitality that is sustainable and respects both tradition and the environment.
In the interview, Fateh Bagh Palace's founder, Shri Jitendra Singh Ji Rathore, shared how it all began. The journey started with an ambitious preservation project of a 200-year-old fort, called “Fateh Bagh”, in Koshilav which is a small village near Ranakpur. Jitendra Ji discovered that the fort's new owner intended to demolish it for residential plots and therefore, he proposed an innovative solution which was carefully dismantling and then relocating the structure. Imagine moving 65,000 pieces of history, each stone carrying two centuries of stories, across miles of Indian countryside which were then reassembled "like a larger-than-life jigsaw puzzle". This was an initial experience that helped Rathore realize the immense value India's ancient civilization carries, and it sparked a commitment to incorporate sustainable practices in all his future projects.
