The Monsoon Palace, formerly known as the Sajjan Garh Palace, is a hilltop palatial residence in the city of Udaipur, Rajasthan in India, overlooking the lake Fateh Sagar. It is named as Sajjangarh after Maharana Sajjan Singh (1874–1884) of the Mewar Dynasty, who built it in 1884. It offers a panoramic view of the city's lakes, palaces and surrounding countryside. It was built basically to watch the monsoon clouds; hence, appropriately, it is popularly known as Monsoon Palace. It is said that the Maharana built it at the top of the hill to get a view of his ancestral home of Chittaurgarh. Previously owned by the Mewar royal family, it is now under the control of the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan and has been opened to the public recently. The palace provides a beautiful view of the sunset.
High in the Aravalli Hills, just outside Udaipur, the Palace is illuminated in the evenings, giving a glow of golden orange. The palace was used in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy as the residence of Kamal Khan, an exiled Afghan prince.

Traveling out of Delhi I accidentally came across this Ghat on the banks of the Ganges. Here the river is known as Garh Ganga and the Ghat is the Braj Ghat also known as Brijghat. I was driving (actually my driver was) along the main highway linking Delhi to Bareilly, Lucknow, etc. To the left, just outside this shot several funeral pyres were burning and people were scattering ashes in the river. Containers can be seen for sale so worshippers can collect and take away holy water from the river. Sacred cows are seen wandering freely amongst the people. India holds an at times “difficult to bear” fascination for me.

MONÇÃO (Portugal): Palácio da Brejoeira.
O Palácio da Brejoeira fica situado a sul da vila de Monção e é, desde 1910, considerado como Monumento Nacional.
No início do século XIX, Luís Pereira Velho de Moscoso mandou construir este Palácio no local onde existia a antiga Quinta do Vale da Rosa que pertencia à sua família há já alguns séculos.
Luís Pereira Velho de Moscoso era um homem de posses, tendo entre outras funções honrosas, entre a comunidade de Monção, a de Fidalgo da Casa Real e Cavaleiro da Ordem de Cristo.
Este homem mandou construir o Palácio da Brejoeira quando decorria o ano de 1806 e a obra ficou concluída apenas 28 anos mais tarde, já debaixo da orientação do seu filho, Simão Pereira Velho de Moscoso.
O projecto inicial é da autoria de Carlos Amarante, um arquitecto bracarense que provavelmente terá conhecido Luís Pereira Velho de Moscoso quando ambos prestavam serviço no Regimentos das Milícias.
A obra ficou depois a cargo do mestre Domingos Pereira, que era de Sopo, em Vila Nova da Cerveira. Já as pinturas dos salões ficaram a cargo de um artista originário de Valença, de seu nome Clemente.

During our stay at SaffronStays Jaipura Garh, we visited the dusty sleepy village of Abhaneri. While the stepwell of Chandi Baori was our main reason of visit, the sunset was what stole the show. It definitely ranks in out top 5 sunsets so far!

Built in 1156 by the Bhati Rajput ruler Jaisal, Jaisalmer Fort situated on Meru Hill and named as Trikoot Garh has been the scene of many battles. Its massive sandstone walls are a pale yellow colour during the day, turning to a darker gold as the sun sets. About a quarter of city's population still live inside the fort. The main attractions inside the fort are the Raj Mahal (Royal palace), Jain temples and the Laxminath temple.

People of Jaipura, Rajasthan, India "You want my photo? To put it on the internet?" He asked us as we were strolling around chasing the golden light on that cold winter morning.
We asked him what internet was. To which he replied, "Come, see my buffaloes". He then went on to introduce Chetan to all his goats and buffaloes. Needless to say, a photo session followed.
Once the initial apprehension of why we wanted to click their photos went off, he became a gracious, welcoming host. Happy to pose with his buffaloes and grand children (whom he loved equally, we suspect!). "Next time, stay with us", were his parting words.

Orchha is a historical town in the Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh, India with a total population of around 12,000 inhabitants. The town encompasses a very dense collection of the historical buildings, gardens and traditional housings. It was the seat of an eponymous former princely state of central India, in the Bundelkhand region. The historical settlement derived its name from the phrase ‘Ondo chhe’ meaning ‘low’ or ‘hidden’. The site was indeed bowl-like, buffered by bluffs and forests, lying on the Betwa River.
Orchha was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela chief Rudra Pratap Singh, who became the first King of Orchha. The son of Rudra Pratap Singh, Bharti Chand (r.1531-1554), shifted the capital from Garh Kundar to Orchha, because the site was a better place to fortify against the growing Mughal pressure. After almost a decade of mayhem, Bir Singh Deo (r.1605-1627) became the king of Orchha who was perhaps the greatest of the Bundela Kings of Orchha. Bir Singh Deo became closely affiliated with the Mughal heir prince Salim. On suggestion of the latter, he ambushed and murdered Akbar's closest counsellor Abu' Fazal in 1602. Although Akbar's army invaded Orchha the same year, and Bir Singh Deo had to flee, his vicious act was rewarded three years later, with the ascension of Prince Salim to the Mughal throne as Jehangir. Jehangir installed Bir Singh Deo as king of Orchha. Bir Singh Deo was a great builder, not only in Orchha, but he also constructed the Forts of Datia and Jhansi, and temples in Mathura and Varanasi which spread the Bundeli architectural styles to the various parts of North India. Later Hamir Singh, who ruled from 1848 to 1874, was elevated to the rank of Maharaja in 1865. Maharaja Pratap Singh (born 1854, died 1930), who succeeded to the throne in 1874, devoted himself entirely to the development of his state, himself designing most of the engineering and irrigation works that were executed during his reign in Orchha.
Even though the seat of power changed frequently in Orchha, the city flourished and grew under the leadership of Bundeli kings and became the inception point for a new style of architecture known as the Bundeli architectural style.
