  • Walled City Hotels Private Limited
    Walled City Hotels Private Limited February 19, 2019 Summary of rated instruments Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Long-term Cash Credit 2.00 3.00 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Long-term Term Loan 38.00 27.85 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Unallocated - 9.15 [ICRA]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Total 40.00 40.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating takes into account the extensive experience of the promoter in the hospitality industry supported by a professional management team, its moderately diversified portfolio with two hotels one in Jodhpur and the other at Udaipur with offerings in the upscale and premium segment. Continued improvement in the company’s top line supported by RevPar improvement, coupled with healthy operating margins, has led to a healthy financial risk profile as reflected by low gearing and strong debt coverage indicators. Further, the rating draws comfort from the strong liquidity as reflected in the undrawn working capital limits, liquid investments and the fact that the company is maintaining debt service reserve account (DSRA) equivalent to one quarter of principal and interest obligations. The rating, however, is constrained by the moderate scale of current operations and the pressure on occupancy of both the properties due to intense competition in these markets. The rating is further constrained by the modest return on capital employed (RoCE) due to lower occupancy at the Udaipur hotel. Further, the company faces the risk of high geographical concentration as all its assets are at the two locations and any volatility in demand could affect revenue generation.

  • So I Knew Their Place Before I Crashed Among Them, Knew When Alexander Had Traversed It in an Earlier Age for This Cause Or That Greed
    I am a man who can recognize an unnamed town by its skeletal shape on a map …. So I knew their place before I crashed among them, knew when Alexander had traversed it in an earlier age for this cause or that greed. I knew the customs of nomads besotted by silks or wells …. When I was lost among them, unsure of where I was, all I needed was the name of a small ridge, a local custom, a cell of this historical animal, and the map of the world would slide into place. – Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient (1992) 112 Marg Vol. 61 No. 1 112-120 Pramod final GJ.indd 112 18/09/09 11:32 AM Special Feature Pramod Kumar K.G. The Photography Archive at the City Palace Museum Udaipur A small slice of Udaipur’s history was uncovered in May 2008 when the City Palace Complex at Udaipur yielded several trunks packed with photographs. Safely maintained over the decades among the various storerooms and inner recesses of the vast City Palace Museum Udaipur (hereafter CPMU), the trunks hold several thousand loose photographs, folios, and framed images, which are currently being catalogued and archived. Numbering more than 15,000 images, these photographs are part of the Pictorial Archives of The Maharanas of Mewar, Udaipur, and are currently housed at the CPMU. A first exhibition of these photographs has already been mounted at the newly restored Bhagwat Prakash Gallery in the Zenana Mahal of the complex.

Much like the master artists of the past, many contemporary artists use elements, compositions and ideas from this ocean of Indian painting which, as I mentioned before, one needs to look and re-look to understand it. Murad Khan Mumtaz has argued how there was a distinct break in the long continuity of the painting tradition in India when the direct british rule was established in 19th century north India.
