"A holistic pilgrimage hub integrating a cultural museum, transit terminal, and wellness hotel."

Located in Katra, the base camp for the 7 million annual pilgrims visiting Vaishno Devi, the Trikuta Experience Centre solves critical infrastructure challenges. The masterplan synthesizes a multi-modal transportation hub (Bus & Taxi) with a dedicated 'Yatra' registration facility. The core of the project features an interactive Cultural Museum depicting the pilgrimage's history, alongside a Wellness Hotel & Centre designed for yoga and meditation, transforming the chaotic transit point into a spiritual gateway.

The design process involved a rigorous study of the vernacular architecture, reinterpreting traditional cooling methods for a modern context. Every line drawn was an attempt to capture the ephemeral quality of light and the solidity of the earth.
