The Falaknuma Palace is regtarded as one of the most magnificent palaces in the whole of India and overlooks the busy city of Hyderabad. It was built by Vikar-ul-Umra in the late 19th century, when India was a British colony. The former "Maharadscha" palace is a treasure trove of art and architecture and is now a part of the Taj Group, which will soon convert it into a super deluxe hotel.

Among the many invited guests at the entertaining dinner party were some people from the Kingdom of Cambodia, who announced that Cambodia will have its own travel mart again in Siem Reap on December 4-6, 2009.
