Architecture & Soul

Built by Royal Artisans

Aurelia Grand was conceived as a living tribute to Udaipur’s golden age. Every archway, cupola (chhatri), and lattice window (jharokha) was hand-chiseled from local Rajasthani yellow sandstone and pristine white marble by eighth-generation Mewar master masons.

Rather than replicating historical palaces from afar, the property was designed from the ground up to weave royal courtyards, scented frangipani groves, reflecting lotus pools, and sweeping lake horizons into a singular, tranquil experience.

Authentic Mewar Style

Arched colonnades, scalloped jharokhas, and hand-painted miniature frescoes.

Lakeside Sanctuary

Direct private boat jetty access connecting directly to the City Palace ghats.
