First blog post.Arrived at my new home in Dhrangadhra nearly a week ago, now (although it already feels like I've been here much longer!). Our host, referred to as Ba, is married to the youngest son of the former Maharaja (ruler) of Dhrangadhra; we are staying in the old royal palace of the Dhrangadhra Princely State.This setting is incredible! Over 200 years old, it is decorated with countless antiques and stone carvings from the time of the royals. My living quarters open out into the courtyard, shown in the photo, which is filled with trees and an array of wildlife. This courtyard, the old women's quarters of the palace, is where I live and work.
