Caption: Udaipur, Rajasthan, India - Apr 2003. A porter outside the Lake Palace, the former residence of the Maharana of Mewar - is now one of India's most celebrated landmarks and a luxury hotel, as seen form Shiv Niwas, another of the Maharana's palaces. Once renowned for their chivalrous spending and extravagant pomp, ever since democratic reforms were instilled in India, the princes- dethroned and stripped of land, but allowed to keep their palaces - have had to convert their stately homes into tourist ventures. Once collecting taxes from farmers and village people, the princes have had to convert their stately homes into tourist ventures in order to refrain from bankruptcy.
