She was the 2017 winner of the Women Artists, Architects and Designers (WADe) Asia Life Time Achievement Award.
In 2019 the president of India gave her the Nari Shakti
Puraskar, India's highest civilian award for recognising the achievements and contributions of women
She specialised in buildings that fit into, rather than contrast with, the landscape, and are made of natural local materials: mainly mud, bamboo, and stone, with small amounts of deodar wood.
Since our beloved Didi contractor has left us few months back, and we had based our prototype based on her principles and pallete. We would like to conduct the first exhibition about her.
