We were so thrilled to be invited to the Palace by the Maharaja!!!  In celebration of Diwali, His Royal Highness invited us to his Fort ( Mehrangarth Fort ) for dinner!!  Of course we accepted! 🙂

I am so happy my husband is so GAME!  He wore a turban!  LOVE IT!  The Maharajah really looked at him and said ” You look like one of us!”  and he looked at James when we greeted him and when he said goodbye to us 🙂
