The Sitting Elephant

A Rooftop Restaurant Overlooking River Ganga

The Story

They come at dusk,
to drink.

The restaurant did not choose its name from a book. From the rooftop, you can watch elephants cross to the far bank of the Ganga to drink, unhurried, enormous, and ancient. That moment, repeated at dusk for as long as anyone can remember, is the whole story. We simply built a table beside it.
