Where can I buy good “bandhni” fabric in Jaipur?

India / Shopping / Shops / Travel March 21, 2013 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

Last week in Jaipur, we were on a mission to buy a bandhni sari for a friend’s mother, and I wanted to buy stoles/dupattas, and so after trawling many shops in Johari bazaar, we liked the look of one New Silk Palace. Friendly staff who patiently showed us gazillions of …

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Entertainment / Film / Movie July 14, 2012 September 5, 2014 2 Comments

In a state seemingly awash with heritage hotels and palaces, this centrally located hotel in Jaipur, in India’s Rajasthan state, ticks all the right boxes.  Approached through noisy congested streets in the city centre, and located opposite a nondescript modern shopping complex, one’s heart initially sinks at the approach. But …

Bharat Mahal Palace, Jaipur

Bharat Mahal Palace, Jaipur
Hotels / India / Travel March 2, 2011 May 27, 2020 1 comment

Although seemingly every hotel in India’s Rajasthan state is either a palace or a self-proclaimed heritage property, to describe the Bharat Mahal Palace as a “royal residence” (as their own brochure does) or a heritage hotel (as the sign in the garden does) is an exaggeration.  This poorly maintained, decidedly …
