Ah! Still got a few places I’d like to have a look at. Heading off to two of them later this week so I might post some pics and let you guess where!
The last princely rulers in India were all pensioned off in 1947-9 so when I was there in 1997 there were still a few old men alive who could remember being royal rulers and I was fortunate to track several of them down. I always liked the small quirky states who had some pretty quirky princes too.
Child deities, royals of a past era, and special umbrellas. Where have your adventures NOT taken you?
