Room
The entry room here, and it faces inward: the gardens rather than the lake, seen from behind a carved stone screen. The palace has 14 of them.
Inside, it is fitted exactly like every room above it, and the standard is high — dark wood embossed with tarkashi work, brass wire and strips set into the grain, gold-figured silk on the walls, a framed pichwai, a hanging basket-shade lamp over the bed and an orange armchair at the window. Two guests, with a single child of 6 to 12 on an extra bed if needed. With 14 of them, this is also the room most likely to be free on the date you actually want.
A child is 12 or under.
A child of 6 or under shares the existing bedding. One child of 7 to 12 may take an extra bed, charged nightly with breakfast and one main meal included. From 13 a guest is charged as an adult.
