Shoes and Cameras must be left at the cloak room. Intricately carved
rosewood doors and ceilings some with inlaid ivory work, marble
figurines, collections of caskets, paintings of the members of the royal
family and other objects of personal use exhibit such opulence, though
age as worn them out a bit with slight discolourisation. On Sundays and
