Royal escapade at Radha Mahal: the Queen Zone

Traveling back to an era, to erstwhile residence of H.H Jivajirao Schindia, which is known as Taj Usha Kiran Palace..while on my visit I learnt an age old tradition of 14th century, which has been kept alive by Jiva Spa. Mangal Snan, as the term goes is an elaborate Ayurvedic, therapeutic and a luxurious retreat for your mind body and soul. This bathing ritual cum treatment was taken by the women of Royal families where live music used to be a part of entire therapy.  Musicians played various tunes on Sitar not only as per the the hour of the day but season too.Raag as we all know is a scientific composition of musical notes which have a thematic approach, this kind of specific music through human auditory nerve transmits soothing effect to the mind.
