Udaipur is simply beautiful. Â I was playing for a sangeet, which is a party the night before the wedding with lots of music and dancing. Â The venue was a palace in the middle of a lake.

Which, of course, meant getting the harp there by boat. Â This boat:

It wasn’t easy or pretty, and quite heart-pounding for the harpist, but it worked! Â The hundreds of guests also made the trip in these decorated boats.
The lawn of the palace was beautifully decorated in purple. Â The music for the evening was provided by professionals such as myself, along with family and friends of the bride and groom.
