Bapu's Retreat_ Wellness through light

Self-health reliance through light, form, and tradition.A quiet urban oasis in the heart of Rajkot, this Ayurvedic wellness homestay draws from Gandhiji’s belief in self-health reliance. Designed around the body’s natural rhythm, each corner is a quiet companion in healing through light.  Form bends and opens to let natural light in.  Morning light stirs stillness into motion; filtered noon shadows offer moments of pause; golden dusk wraps the day in warmth, with artificial lighting echoing the natural transition to evening. This careful choreography of light fosters an environment that supports holistic well-being, encouraging guests to reconnect with the natural flow of light.
