The breakfast verandah is one of the parts of the house we use most. It catches the morning sun from about seven onwards, with the garden just below and the lake not far beyond. Breakfast at The Dunnottar begins quietly: filter coffee, fruit, curd, eggs, dosa, pongal, toast, and the slow conversations that make the table linger.

A first-person walk through The Dunnottar by Shalini Biswajit, who led the restoration of the house and shaped its interiors. This note follows the rooms, objects, photographs, and family memories that guests will find across Dunnottar North and Dunnottar South.
