he time when Maharajas reigned,
when style remained supreme. When forts were bigger than towns, and each palace
more opulent than the other. The time when tigers were abundant in wilds. The time when
passions reigned supreme, when women jumped into raging
fires rather than lose their honor, when a
sudden burst of creativity resulted in entirely new towns being made, when sheer
love led to the construction of the Taj...
