Our Story

From the Land of Valor and Roses

House of Haldighati is born from one of India's most historic and fragrant landscapes — where the legacy of Maharana Pratap meets the rare fragrance of the Chaitri Rose.

The Land

Where history and fragrance meet

Situated amidst the Aravalli hills near Udaipur, Haldighati is celebrated worldwide as the battlefield where Maharana Pratap displayed unmatched courage and resilience during the Battle of Haldighati in 1576. The region derives its name from its distinctive yellow, turmeric-coloured soil — Haldi meaning turmeric, Ghati meaning valley.

For centuries, Haldighati has symbolised bravery, pride, and the rich heritage of Mewar. Beyond its glorious history, this valley is also home to one of Rajasthan's most treasured natural gifts — the rare and fragrant Chaitri Rose.

The Chaitri Rose

Rajasthan's Fragrant Heritage

Haldighati is renowned for cultivating the rare Chaitri Rose, a unique variety that blooms only during the Hindu month of Chaitra (March–April). Nurtured by the region's distinctive climate, mineral-rich soil, and traditional farming practices, these roses possess an extraordinary fragrance and exceptional quality.

For generations, local farmers and artisans have cultivated these roses with immense care. The blooms are harvested during their peak season and transformed into products that have become synonymous with the identity of Haldighati.

“The fragrance of the Chaitri Rose is not merely an aroma — it is a living heritage that carries the essence of Mewar's culture, traditions, and craftsmanship.”

The Tradition

How Gulkand became Haldighati's Identity

The tradition of crafting rose-based products in Haldighati dates back several centuries. What began as a local practice gradually evolved into one of Rajasthan's most recognised artisanal industries. Families in the region have passed down recipes and techniques through generations to create authentic rose products such as:

Traditional Gulkand

Rose Sharbat

Rose Water

Natural Rose Preserves

Rose Wellness Products

Gulkand & Ayurveda

Among these, Gulkand holds a special place. Prepared by slowly preserving fresh rose petals with natural sweeteners, Gulkand has long been valued in Ayurveda for its cooling and rejuvenating properties. The process requires patience, craftsmanship, and carefully selected rose petals to preserve their natural aroma and benefits.

Today, Haldighati is widely recognised across India for its authentic rose products, and the region's rose heritage continues to support local farmers, artisans, and traditional methods of production.
