India (December, 2016) – We arrived at the bedraggled palace, after a sunny drive through the dusty desert. The caretaker let into the decaying Rajput era compound to explore the some areas of the derelict beauty. He guided around; with animated pantomime pointing out some of the more majestic details. We enjoyed a calm cup of tea, before a boisterous group of mini-trespassers reanimated scenes of a nostalgic past.
