Palace On Wheels
Jodhpur - Mehrangarh Fort -
Since
1974 this fort has housed a beautiful museum envisioned by and partly funded by
the current Maharaja, Gaj Singh II. In it are displayed much of the
Maharaja's substantial collections of miniature paintings, portraits, books and
manuscripts, weapons, textiles and tents, elephant howdahs and palanquins.
We had a fantastic guide, Mr. Singh, here. His tour included a wonderfully
crafted 7-minute, 5000-year history of India. |
