Ruins of Desert Cathay 70 - Amban's guests feasting on terrace leading to 'my' (Stein's) pavilion in Nar-bagh - Stein was being welcomed at a 'dastagar' by the Amban. By 'my' he means the local accomodations he was provided for his stay at Khotan. Stein didn't like all the official protocol but realized it was essential for him to gain approvals and obtain support. But his Indian team members refused to eat with infidels.
