As Heritage Conservator:

A humble yet passionate custodian of India’s rich cultural heritage. I am honored to be the 12th generation descendant of Jodhpur’s Diwan Singhvi Sukhmal Ji and the ninth generation descendant of Fauja Bakshi Shradhya Shri Shambhumal Ji Singhvi, the esteemed commander of the Jodhpur Army during the reign of Maharaja Vijaya Singh Ji. My ancestor played a pivotal role in protecting the status of Shrinathji from the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, bringing it safely to Mewar, where he established the town of Nathdwara and the revered Shrinathji Temple. Our family’s legacy is enshrined in the 300-year-old Singhvi Ji Ki Haveli, located in the historic Fauz Mohalla, a testament to our enduring heritage.

In addition, I am the great-grandson of Smt. Jas Kunwar Ji Singhvi, the real sister of Shri Balwant Singh Sb Mehta, a distinguished member who contributed to the drafting of the “Constitution of India.” This rich lineage imbues in me a deep sense of responsibility towards our nation’s cultural and historical legacy.

Since 2006, I have been a dedicated Life Member of the Indian National Trust for Art & Cultural Heritage (INTACH), where my work has focused on the conservation and restoration of both tangible and intangible heritage. As the Co-Convener of INTACH Udaipur Chapter since 2017, I have led various significant initiatives, including the restoration awareness program for the famous Jagdish Temple and the conduction of heritage quizzes and endangered craft workshops in over 15 schools across Udaipur every year.

My passion for heritage is deeply intertwined with my personal history and is reflected in my ongoing work on over 90 stepwells in Udaipur, where I am committed to preserving these ancient structures. My efforts are not just about saving the past but about making our heritage relevant and engaging for the youth, who will carry forward this legacy.
