Inside Namita Thappar's Falaknuma Palace stay
The pictures Namita shared on Instagram showcase the regal interiors of the Falaknuma Palace. From European- and Indian-themed paintings and marble balustrades to crystal chandeliers and grand staircases, her pictures and videos offer a glimpse of the interiors of the scorpion-shaped palace, built in 1894.
One of the videos also showed the most famous dining hall of the Falaknuma Palace. At 108 feet, the rosewood table is believed to be the world's longest dining table, set with 101 green chairs under glass chandeliers. The room was engineered for power as much as for dining; its acoustics reportedly allowed the nizam to speak in a low voice at one end and be heard clearly at the other.

What did Namita Thappar wear?
{{/usCountry}}The peach organza saree Namita wore features a stunning golden border highlighted by a contrasting aqua-blue lining. The peacock embroidery done in gold zari embroidery, adds a soft, feminine touch to the traditional look. She completed the ensemble with a peach sleeveless blouse featuring a scoop neckline and a cropped hem.
Namita accessorised the look with a gold choker necklace adorned with Kundan beads, matching earrings, and, for the glam, she chose soft makeup and centre-parted loose tresses styled with soft waves.
Sticking with the same glam, she switched the jewellery for her second look, opting for a multi-stranded emerald neckpiece that contrasted well with her bright pink kaftan dress featuring flowy, full-length sleeves, a relaxed silhouette, and a floor-sweeping length.
