Zenana Bloom

Deep within the labyrinthine fortresses of Rajasthan lay the Zenana, the private, sun-drenched inner palaces and secluded courtyard gardens reserved exclusively for royal women. Shielded from the outside world, the Zenana was a sanctuary of uninhibited style, where princesses and queens set the ultimate standards for art, poetry, and haute jewelry. It was here, among hidden fountains and frescoed walls, that rare desert blooms were cultivated as symbols of sovereign grace.
