Croquet In The Mountains

Wherever the Maharajas of yester years lived, luxury and sports prevailed. With many a European Colonisation around various parts of India, more & more sports became the daily rituals of the rich Princely States. Croquet was one such popular sport among the rich & present day nouveau rich. Many of the now heritage hotels were personal residences of the ruling Maharajas, who popularised the game and added Croquet courts in their palace grounds.
