Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Tres andares de pedra cor de mel érguense de xeito espectacular á beira do vasto Lago Superior de Bhopal. A raíña Kamlapati, unha gobernante gond cun gran ollo para a beleza estratéxica, escolleu este lugar fronte á auga a primeiros do século XVIII como a súa residencia persoal.

Destaques: Atravesa o gran portal abovedado e atoparás unha cámara subterránea secreta onde a raíña escapaba da calor do verán, con aberturas de ventilación intelixentemente deseñadas para canalizar as frescas brisas do lago. O revestimento orixinal de cal con 300 anos de antigüidade aínda cobre as paredes interiores, gravado con delicados motivos florais que captan a luz da tarde.
