The space

West of the house, on the terrace above the baoli, with the stepwell dropping away on one side and the city wall on the other. Three hundred at table or four hundred and fifty standing, and the far wall of the well turns apricot at about a quarter past six, which is why most couples ask for the ceremony then.

Worth knowing

Outdoor and unshaded. April to June we will only take an evening function here, and will say so.
