Nicholas's visit to South Asia - India & Sri Lanka ( then known as Ceylon)

[Nayomini]

Haven't followed the thread for a while but glad there's more info coming to light about the Tsar's visit to this part of the world. I believe the tree he planted was at the Botanical Gardens in the hill country Kandy. Must check it up when I visit there. Incidently, I found a local book on turn of the century socialites and leading families which mentions that Nicholas did attend a very lavish and extravagant wedding of an important and well to do Sri Lankan family  while in Colombo. Shall try to dig up on that.

One volume per 1000$is very cheap for Russia.
You can not buy this book even for 10000$in Russia now.

The book I have is pretty small in size is it this one you talking about?
Its in Russian

The original book is very big and luxurious.
