More pictures from Udaipur

The queen's room.  The red thing is a fan that works when someone pulls the rope that's attached.
The king's of old needed comfort when they visited the potty!  I want one!
Intricate tile/glass work in this room.
The peacock carries special significance here in India.  It represents beauty and you can find renderings of the peacock everywhere.
Tour guide: Have you ever seen a smiling lion?  Me: Nope.  TG: Look here this lion is smiling.  Do you know why?  Me: He must be a single lion.  If he was married he'd be crying!  TG: Laughing, yes you are correct!
Another kerosene fan in the queen's chambers.
Sarah, me, and Linda outside the palace.
Elephant carvings at the mandir.
The mandir.

Hmm.  To be an elephant or not to be an elephant!
