Patiala reveals itself in layers. We pass through the bustling lanes of Adalat Bazaar, past generational spice stalls, sweet shops and jewellery stores spilling onto the street, before the road opens into the towering ramparts of Qila Mubarak. This is the fort of the Patiala royal family, and within its walled complex lies their erstwhile queens\u2019 very own palace. The massive gate leading to it is guarded by a pair of Sikh guards, who stand sentinel at the salmon pink fa\u00e7ade of the entrance. After a warm \u201cSat \u015ari Ak\u0101l\u201d, they swing it open to reveal a massive marbled courtyard with a black-and-white chequered fountain as the focal point. This symmetry is framed by soaring arcades, their flawless facades crafted using the traditional technique of\u00a0araish<\/em>\u00a0plasterwork. It wasn\u2019t like arriving at a hotel but like stepping into another century.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
