In the misty Nilgiris dotted with tea estates, designer and tastemaker Sujata Keshavan's family home is a rare remnant of the British colonial architectural style. Set within two acres of gardens, it's a sumptuous, lived-in family home with classical fireplaces, heirlooms, books, and textiles—and a charming slowness of time.

Unidentified location (the seller supposed Pune) and photographer. Unusual for a garden, at least for me, is that almost all the plants are in flowerpots. Maybe this gives the opportunity to arrange them more easily.

This North East India Tour is packed with wonderful places to see in areas off the beaten track. For a fabulous ABTA protected Indian holiday see the tours at Authentic India Tours.
