Welcome to Chhotaram Prajapat’s Mud Homestay, where tradition meets hospitality. I am Chhotaram Prajapat, hailing from a long line of dhurrie weavers in Salawas village, Jodhpur. Having received my education in Salawas, I have upheld our family tradition while embracing modern opportunities. Married in 2007 with three children, I am part of a vibrant joint family, sharing a home filled with warmth and culture.
The Genesis of the Homestay
The idea for our mud homestay blossomed in 2009 when guests, enchanted by our dhurrie craftsmanship, experienced the richness of Rajasthani culture firsthand. Inspired by their visit, we opened our doors to travelers, aiming to offer an authentic Rajasthani experience to guests from around the globe.
Weaving Authenticity into Every Stay
Our family’s heritage in dhurrie weaving enriches the essence of our mud homestay. Guests not only immerse themselves in the rustic charm of village life but also learn the intricate art of dhurrie weaving, fostering a deep appreciation for our cultural legacy.
The Catalyst: Brad and Lucy
The journey of our homestay business was catalyzed by the visit of Brad and Lucy, esteemed guests from the UK. Their stay marked the inception of our venture, inspiring us to share our heritage with the world.
Overcoming Initial Hurdles
In the nascent stages, we encountered numerous challenges, from understanding guest needs to establishing our online presence. However, with perseverance and a commitment to authenticity, we embraced these obstacles, ensuring each guest experiences the genuine essence of Rajasthani hospitality.
Sustainability at the Core
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of our operations. Our mud homestay, constructed using clay and cow dung, stands as a testament to eco-conscious living. We prioritize serving vegetarian, home-cooked meals prepared over an open fire, minimizing our carbon footprint while offering delectable local cuisine.
Promoting Local Culture and Crafts
Our mud homestay serves as a hub for cultural exchange, promoting local crafts and traditions. Guests partake in village safaris, interact with artisans, and support local economies by purchasing handmade crafts, thus fostering a symbiotic relationship between travelers and the community.
Empowering the Community
The impact of our homestay extends beyond hospitality, empowering traditional artisans and craftsmen in Salawas village. Through direct business opportunities, we have enabled dhurrie weavers and potters to thrive year-round, breaking free from the constraints of seasonal income.
