The entrance lobby in keeping with the prevailing sprint of the wedding season is an ostentatious display of gold glitter colour and craftsmanship a mixture of old an new past and present Elaborate wedding sarees in reds and deep pinks and ornate antique palanquin hiding a veied and decked up bride a delicately painted wooden horse with an embroidered saddle bearing bejewelled and brocaded groom brass pots carved wooden chests and more costumes hang in suspended animation.
