Don't be misled by the name. Talaiva has nothing to do with Rajinikanth. Instead, the place gets its name from the Talaibagh Palace in Amer, which has now been converted into a heritage hotel. When we get to the restaurant, Nidhishwar Singh Bika, 21, requests us to step outside for a look at the signage, which has a golden falcon at the back. The woodwork facade depicts the rising sun. A Ganesha idol and a curtain waterfall greet us as we re-enter. "The sun is a sign of our Suryavanshi clan, the falcon is a symbol of protection, and a flowing waterbody evokes positivity," says Nidhishwar, who belongs to the family behind this establishment.
