These three were the outer mahals. Behind these came the three inner ones. The inner mahal behind the kacheri bari was for Nagendra's private use. In that only himself, his wife, and their personal attendants were allowed; also the furniture for their use. This place was new, built by Nagendra himself, and very well arranged.
Behind these three inner mahals is the flower-garden; and further yet a broad tank, blue as the sky. This tank is walled in. Outside the house are the stables, the elephant-house, the kennels, the cow-house, the aviaries, etc.
India has been to me, as the average American, a dream of terraced ghauts, of banyans and bungalows, of Taj Mahals and tigers, of sacred rivers and subterranean temples, and and that sort of thing. I come here and land in a big cotton-yard. I ask myself, 'Have I left Jonesville dear Jonesville! on the other side of the world, in order to sit on an antipodal cotton-bale?"
