twisting lanes, small streets and crowded bazaars.

City" having palatial-sized buildings set amid broad tree-lined
avenues punctuated by Mughal style gardens, complete with fountains
and shallow pools. It took 20 years to complete this immense
undertaking only to have the British pack up and relinquish

elephant, true to the style of the Maharajas of the past. The
interior of the fort has various royal halls decorated with
