Wade, this is very impressive. It's great that he had a carriage spacious enough for all his harem to ride with him at the same time. Perhaps the missing guard is partying with the harem.

Mary Ann,
Look at all the "big shot" limo's arriving at the Delhi Durbar along with the Mahahraja of Rewa's boat. There is not a stretch, jacuzzi be damned, or an academy award red carpet nonsense, Monte Carlo Gala sham, that can compare with anything like this. And it was over 100 years ago,
Wade
Wade, I agree. What was the occasion?

Mary Ann,
The Delhi Durbar of 1903. And we think it is hard to pack for a vacation. Look what these people did on a regular basis. Cheap labor, is the secret to all success. LOL
