Amidst the cultural escapades and bustling explorations, this pause became a serene interlude, a chance to soak in the myriad experiences.

Cinematic Echoes: Rajmandir Beckons

As the day progressed, my friend Akshay suggested a cinematic interlude at Rajmandir, Jaipur’s oldest and grandest theatre. The iconic venue, reopening its doors after the pandemic-induced hiatus, was hosting the Hindi-dubbed release of the South Indian blockbuster “Master.” Intrigued by the prospect of reliving the cinematic magic, I promptly booked a ticket for the 3 pm show.
