One of the most beautiful rooms in all of India, the Palace of Flowers inside the Mehrangarth Fort in Jodphur is guilded, painted, and mirrored to the max. Note the lack of furnishings, however. Until arrival of Europeans and accommodations for their customs–chairs and what not–rooms in India were completely fluid in function. Requiring only the resrranging of a few cushions and low tables and stools, today’s dining room could be tonight’s bedroom or tomorrow’s living room. Efficient and versatile. #mehrangarthfort #palaceofflowers
