Veranda
of Maharaja Kishansing Bhali, Nachana Haveli Hotel.
We were invited
inside to see the private quarters, only one room, but what a room.
It must be 60' long and double vaulted like the veranda.
The decor could
most charitably be described as eclectic but in truth was most like the
Steptoe residence for those who remember "Steptoe and Son" the
junk dealers.
Here displayed
amongst portraits of dead British royals were tiger and bearskins,
elephant tusks and weaponry. Black and red striped chaise and
chairs, an elaborately painted wooden swing and a black iron bedstead
completed the decor.
I seem to
remember something about camel polo but can't imagine camels ever being
disciplined enough to play polo so maybe I imagined that.
I very much
liked this hotel and would stay there on a future visit.
There is a good restaurant 'Saffron' on the roof.
