On the stairway to our room, one of two looking out from a curved hallway.

We met the old man who started our tour company. He said "You'll like your room in Jaipur.. I have a good connection there

Outside the room were photos of famous people who had stayed there... At the time it was a Palace, not yet a hotel.

Also this photo, of the Maharaja after a Tiger hunt.

Next to the Palace/Hotel they were setting up a huge wedding with the strangest decorations

Next night the little wedding went off with fireworks etc etc.
