Guru Poornima celebrated with the purest form of music in the perfect ambience of Shri Eklingnathji Temple by Eternal Mewar, is growing on people by the year. Those who understand Indian classical music simply close their eyes and drift away. Those who do not, are surprised at themselves responding to the melodies in such harmony. Above all, the vocalists and musicians themselves fall short of words to describe what they felt when they performed at Swaranjali 2013. They cannot thank Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar more for making this possible every year and bringing together the connoisseurs of music on a single platform while creating new ones. A platform that remains to be unique to Mewar and in the world.

The City Palace Museum was delighted to welcome 12 special visitors from Disable Union Organization, Israel. Our guests arrived on wheel chairs and were lifted up the steps to the Mardana Mahal lift by the City Palace staff. Thereafter, each visitor was taken to Mor Chowk.
It gives us a sense of satisfaction to have been able to comfortably and successfully show them around the museum. “Delightfully well maintained and very co-operative staff,” was left for us as a message in the visitor’s book by one of the guests. This visit did not go without leaving us a key take-away. When you think you can is actually when you can! We may have heard this all along, but we guess it sinks in only when we see it. Eternal Mewar looks forward to welcoming our esteemed guests again.
