Seventeen rooms, a lawn, and a water palace behind the pheras.

Rudrasagar Lake, with Neermahal — India's second water palace, after Udaipur — in view from the pool. Guests can arrive by boat. The ceremony happens with the lake behind it; the reception happens at Cassette; the lawn becomes a dance floor at 22:40 because it always does.

Weddings — the kind where the guest list fits in the rooms and the ceremony happens in front of a water palace or a paddy field. Milestone birthdays — the fortieth, the sixtieth, the one where three generations fly in from four cities. The weekend a group of friends has been threatening for years. Founders who need thirty-six hours away from everyone except each other.
