Welcome .........................................To The Peacock palace of Kallistos Just behind the doors to the palace is a covered foyer. Take a moment to adjust your eyes to the light. It can be a shock stepping in from the Indian sun. The foyer is in the old style of Mohenjo Dura. It is made of the local brick in a rectilinear design used before the invention of the arch and the column. The bricks have a cooling effect due to the natural evaporation of moisture. You can feel the difference the moment you enter the space. In the private spaces, the more common Hellenistic design is used in combination with later Indian traditions. The prince and his attendants greet important guests such as yourself in person. The slave offers cool wine. Do not fear the tiger; she is quite tame. His highness, dressed in Indian fabrics welcomes you and will personally guide you through the palace.
