Since on these occasions the Thakur Sahib and his staff transacted the everyday business of government.
Some durbars were grand formal occasions, attended by large numbers of princes, religious advisers, military chiefs, visiting dignitaries, armed guards, bearers of royal insignia, and select members of the public.
Others were relatively private affairs in which the ruler conferred only with his closest family members and the most important of his advisers, ministers and commanders.
Royal audiences were ideal opportunities to display regal pomp and ceremony so as to emphasize the power of the sovereign and the awe in which he was held.
Ceremonial durbars held on religious festivals and on royal anniversaries or birthdays were the most spectacular events in the life of the palace.
Fresh scones, elegant sandwiches, clotted cream, cakes, preserves and jam, served with delicate, refreshing beverages.
That’s the image the words ‘Afternoon Tea’ immediately brings to mind. Perfect for relaxing with friends and family, or as a pick-me-up in the middle of a hectic day.
