(sorry, the images are a bit grainy...)
The swing (jhoola) - common feature in traditional Indian homes. This room seems to be from a haveli

P.S: thanks for your emails in response to my last post. Blogger is still excruciatingly slow for me, but atleast the images are getting uploaded. And I will take your suggestion about dropping in a mail to blogger - hopefully that should help.
