Vardhana was alive with anticipation. The towering palace, a marvel of ivory and gold, stood resplendent under the morning sun, its spires piercing the sky as banners of deep crimson and royal blue fluttered in the breeze. The entire kingdom buzzed with activity as artisans, servants, and soldiers prepared for the arrival of Indraprastha's royal delegation. Streets were swept clean, fragrant garlands draped over archways, and palace corridors polished until they gleamed like mirrors. The air was thick with the scent of rosewater and sandalwood, mingling with the crisp tang of freshly embroidered silks displayed for the grand occasion.
