to the royal processions and splendours, are now living monuments.

cannot be easily described. You ride up on Elephants to the former

elaborate building, now little more than a façade, is encrusted with delicate

their quarters, could sneakily view the outside world. Past, present and
future merge at Jai Singh's observatory, where time has been accurately
measured since the 17th century. Later also visit Birla Mandir-a unique
