'Wonderful liveries, brilliant turbans, marvellously kept moustaches, Rajput sentries bristling with weapons, Mosaic peacocks seeking to outdo by their brilliant colours, the white birds mincing and strutting about the courtyards. Huge elephants gaily caparisoned, lavishness of Oriental beauty and luxury; all are part of the gorgeous medieavalism of Udaipur in which automobiles and electricity appear almost vulgar'.
