Deeg Water Palace

Although, not alot of water, a wonderful palace to visit.

Deeg Water Palace was a favourite summer retreat for Bharatpur kings. Badan Singh 1722 - 56 was the founder and Jat kingdom.
The Bharatpur family lived here til 1951.  I am sure they were sat to leave this beautiful place.

The main entrance is named Singh Pol after the two lions at the top

Pavilion Sawan

The palace had great furniture, imagination can wander here

I am amazed at the large fans, Susanna said the fans moved by ropes pulled in another room
On the table is an elephant foot, not sure I would want it for decoration

Monkeys, monkeys

Wow, twice in one day we find Ladies washing laundry

The colour, the water reflection, the Ladies in the village are lucky to have water for laundry

The Palace was worth the drive on the bumpy road, Thanks Susanna

Colours are great

Machines looked very old

Brief stop Laundry day

In a village along the way we found a group of ladies doing laundry

Just a warning, I have shared lots of pictures this time...

Ladies with Laundry

The water looks very muddy

I wander how often they are allowed to visit the water hole

The Ladies seemed Happy to see us, see them

Sharing the water with buffalo

One more glimpse

Driving through the villages is always a highlight
