The value of Indian Rupee in 1903

Taj Hotel, Bombay was inaugurated on 1st December 1903. 
Room rate was Rupees 6/- per day for a double room. This advertisement was published in 1907. 
That time monthly average salary was Rs. 5/-
You will notice one unique line in this ad besides other ones. Three Electric Lifts, Electric Light and Electric Fans throughout. 
You see, these things were counted as luxuries in those days…....... Please read each and every line of this advertisement. I bet, You will certainly smile...
