Your arrival at the Palace-hotel is like a historical event full of pomp and grandeur. You are announced to the strains of the ‘shehnai’ , Camels and Elephants decorated in royal Indian tradition salute you while ladies in ethnic costume anoint you with ‘tikka’, adorn you with marigold garlands and perform ‘aarti’. A welcome drink soothes you before you launch into the excitement of a whole new Indian experience.
