We drive up through great wrought-iron gates, down a tree-lined gravel path and stop in front of a vast European edifice the Raj Niwas Palace in Dhꦦolpur, Raja🧸sthan. Built by the ruler of Dholpur, the palace is owned by Dushyant Singh, son of Vasundhara Raje who married into the royal family. Even before I step inside, the subtle application of local craftsmanship on the red-stone is evident - intricate arabesques and jaalis cover the façade.
