India (December, 2016) – Dazzled by the weathered charm, we mounted our way through the various levels of the Achrol Mahal. We gained entry into dilapidated private palace by chance, arriving in time for tea with the gatekeeper and his grandchildren. Our arrival brought a fleury of activity; the younger crew amused me with their curiosity, questions and dance moves - between an inappropriate marriage proposal and chasing monkeys from the roof.
