Lake Palace In Udaipur
September 19, 2013
If you ever get the chance to stay at the Taj Lake Palace hotel in Udaipur do so, as it is incredibly exotic, and only approachable by water unless it has dried up, which was the case as recently as 2010, and then guests are driven across the lake! It was built in 1743 as a royal summer palace, facing east so that the inhabitants could pray to the Hindu Sun God at dawn. There’s an air of serenity here, perhaps because there is hardly any noise out on the water.
A flautist on high sends his haunting music over the gardens below.
Marigold petals – “herbs of the sun”.
