Amazing art works on walls! Just wonderful great hall.

Beautiful..very well captured.
What a wonderful hall. You could entertain lots of people there! :-)
Love the scrollwork. But was wondering what is in the alcoves around the room - some kind of religious artwork?
I never, ever got tired of wall mosaics, decorations while in India.
Bikaner...did you go to the 'rat temple'?
Looks imposing indeed.. I would live to visit this place in person.
