Udaipur
Medieval Silk Road Oasis
Udaipur is world famous for its superb
architecture, traditional arts, and noble
reputation as capitol of old Mewar,
India’s most respected princely state.
Historically Revered
Mewar is honored as the only state that
effectively defied both Mogul and British
conquest, with an egalitarian force of tribals,
warriors and citizens of every caste & creed.
Artistically Blessed
Udaipur is home to over 3000 artists, six
universities, and dozens of small schools
for traditional dance, music and art.
Romantically Beautiful
Udaipur’s sensual splendor attracts over
one million international visitors each year,
as well as 9 million Indians and some of
the world’s most spectacular weddings.

Udaipur
Legendary City of Lakes, Art & History
A High Visibility Venue to Spread New Values and Ideas
Illustrious – Accessible – Affluent
600,000 citizens, hundreds of hotels

developing or teaching innovative
music or performing arts.

Investment
from the Heart
Inviting your Participation
Organization: Udaipur Shakti Works is now a collaborative project between Big Medicine, a
US/Japan green think tank/project developer and Catalyst Mewar Pvt. Ltd, proprietor of the
project land and infrastructure. Together we are creating a new so-called "Section 25" non-profit
corporation to manage USW cultural, educational and environmental activities from 2010 on.
Donors: India’s Section 25 non-profit companies can offer tax exemption certificates for those
who wish to donate to this cause as well as attractive rates for long term loans.
Investors: Those wishing to invest are invited to participate in the private limited company,
which will lease the land and infrastructure to the project, manage its media enterprises, and
develop rural farms, artist residency programs, and other related projects.
In sum we would like potential supporters to note that given:
• Udaipur's 1.2 million foreign visitors & 8 million Indian tourists each year,
• and the total absence of any other creative entertainment venues,
this project can and will make money, enough to support both its growth and ecological work
and even contagious replication in other lands.
However, rather than conventional investors, we seek engaged likeminded partners hungry for
more evolutionary hope and excitement in the world as well as reasonable rates of return.
