Visitors’ Center, Royal Gardens of Rajnagar / Dharatal

Dharatal was commissioned by the Belgian Chapter of the Indian Trust for Rural Heritage and Development (ITRHD) in 2016 to design a Visitors’ Centre for Pateriya ka bagh, Rajnagar in a structure adjacent to an existing Shiva temple where an old kothi once stood. The Center acts as an interpretation center for the Royal Gardens of Rajnagar as well as a training center in organic farming for the local farmers, vocational training for women and youth, and a venue to host the organic seed bank run by the local community.
