The small State of Aundh, in Maharashtra, was one of hundreds of princely territories that disappeared as political entities in the reorganisation of independent India. Francis Watson, who lived for a time in Aundh under its last Rajah, tells of his return after more than ten years to an empty palace and to villages over which a wave of change has passed.
