Interior story coming soon.

Get • Kohelika Kohli () arrived with her parents at a farm in Sohna, Haryana, 35 years ago, when the mustard fields were in full bloom. All around, the Aravallis rose along a ridge, older than the blooming mustards, older than time. The stone cottage in the nerve centre of the farm, owned by a Gujjar family, dated back to over 180 years. When Kohelika used to visit as a child, there were barely any pukka roads leading to the house. Once inside, she’d rush to the tube well that her father had enlarged into a swimming pool: feet first and then the head-on plunge.

Khwabgah, literally meaning a place to dream, takes its name from Kohelika’s mother, designer Sunita Kohli’s () first visit to the Mughal Khwabgah in Fatehpur Sikri in her early teens. When Sunita would get lost in her house as a child, her parents had the usual refrain: she must be reading or dreaming away somewhere. It’s the ability to dream, then, that led to her being the first interior designer to be conferred the Padma Shri in 1992.

However, the soul of the original 180-year-old stone cottage is kept alive—in the preserved ceiling upheld now by railway girders acting as load-bearing beams or in the way light prances across the home between a large Burma teak Cheval mirror and antique baskets from China. “The Aravallis, among the world’s oldest mountains, gifted the original builders the toughest and most enduring stones, their surfaces softened by the passage of countless years,” Kohelika, the cofounder and creative director of the Delhi-based architecture and design studio K2India (), says.

Thrilled to share a glimpse into my recent work, collaborating with the visionary team at

As an interior and architectural photographer, my goal is to translate the architect’s vision—the play of light on marble, the texture of a custom-designed wall, the feel of a meticulously curated space—into a compelling visual story.

From the dramatic, moody elegance of a dark-toned bathroom featuring a stunning copper vessel sink, to the whimsical, star-gazing bedroom, and the sheer luxury of a marble-clad hallway, every shot is about highlighting the design intent.

It’s an honor to document spaces that define modern luxury. Swipe through to experience the details!
