Young Indian honeymooners galore in Udaipur which was sweet to see as they shyly skipped around the City Palace. Relentless wedding processions taking over the streets with colourfully adorned horses, glum grooms, energetic dancing to brass bands (bizarre) and lots of drums, kids wielding hefty lights to contain and guide the processions, Rupee notes flung about, and finished off with a toxic generator lagging behind.
The City Palace itself is a labyrinth of palace upon palace as successive rulers added their own mahal (palace) over a lengthy 300 years. Each one differs in style, some more ornate, gaudy, clinical, colourful, and extravagant than others.
And great if hazy sunset views as we wander past a Tibetan market, an elephant, a lake, to some temple with stunning and high views over Lake Pichola and the City Palace.
