When Our Island Resort Became the Urban Sketchers’ Artistic Muse…!

The tranquility and abundance of natural beauty at both our resorts – Malhar Machi Luxury Mountain Resort and Jalsrushti Luxury Island Resort have been inspiring artists to bring canvases to life. And who better than the Urban Sketchers to capture the true beauty of our resorts into exquisite paintings?Their sketches immortalized our surroundings, reflecting environments that inspire creativity and left lasting impressions on our guests.

Our resorts experienced an artistic extravaganza as we hosted the Urban Sketchers Pune at both our properties. The Urban Sketchers are a global community of sketchers dedicated to the practice of on-location drawing. The breathtaking scenery around both resorts provided the perfect canvas for their artistic expression.

In October, over 50 artists gathered at Malhar Machi Luxury Mountain Resort, sketching the beauty of our landscapes. We were delighted to welcome them back in larger numbers in March at Jalsrushti Luxury Island Resort, where over 100 artists sketched away, beautifully capturing the serene vistas. Some found inspiration in wooden chalets by the river, while others sketched across the tranquil waters of the Mula River.

Their sketches immortalized our surroundings, reflecting environments that inspire creativity and left lasting impressions on our guests.

Devrai Nature Nurture Leadership

Cows have what is referred to as panoramic vision. This means they can see things in all directions without moving their heads. They have 300° vision because they can see everything except what is directly behind them. A person approaching a cow from directly behind the animal is in a very dangerous position as the cow’s natural reaction is to kick toward the unseen danger!
