About your Hosts
Major Durga Das and his wife Ms. Jyoti Jasol hail from very traditional, cultured and well-educated families of the Mewar and Marwar regions.
Major Durga Das took premature retirement from the Indian Army's elite Armoured Corps, worked for Shriji Arvind Singhji Mewar (the Maharaja of Udaipur), and is presently working with the Oberoi Group of Hotels. He is a committed environmentalist, a keen bird watcher, and a good horseman.
Ms. Jyoti is an Event Manager who provides that special touch to events for special people. Her firm 'Karni Karishma' designs and coordinates cultural programs for heritage properties. She has been a cultural consultant to leading international hotels, and also organizes lunches, dinners, theme parties, and corporate events with style and finesse. The Devra project is her passion and was envisaged and executed by her.
