You step out of an air-conditioned car into a sun-warmed square, the blue of Lake Pichola sliding between stone ghats and palaces. The City Palace rises in layered terraces above the water—stone, mirrorwork, and latticed windows catching the light—while the city’s call to prayer and temple bells weave through alleyways filled with painted shops and fragrant spice stalls.
