Hello @rizbab28 ,

Thank you for sharing these amazing photos with us.

The gate with the paintings and the sculpted elephants looks fantastic!

The color of this palace is completely different from the rest of the palaces in Rajasthan, is there a reason behind it?

PS: I am going to move your post to the Photography section on Connect, as there is no much text in your post.
