the palace.
the palace.

The city of M. and it’s surrounding area was actually a kingdom when the British ruled other parts of the country. The king lived in this extravagant palace, which was completed in 1900. We arrived late morning and met up with friends (including Jonathan’s brother, wife, and nephew who were visiting from Atlanta). The palace is breathtaking, and the group of us hired a tour-guide. Even though the grounds were packed with tourists, there was something soothing about being surrounded by old, beautiful things, away from the smell of exhaust fumes and auto rickshaw horns for a few hours.
