The strangest airport terminal I have been in.
(Passed en-route and with a fort-like quality)
A National Park and our first destination.
The park is dominated by a hilltop fort.
Another view: where we entered the fort.
A cistern within the fort on the hilltop.
Walking within the grounds of the fort
The rather chaotic area around a shrine within the fort
And some...
... of the miscreants
No a fort, but an abandoned town.
I loved the elegant buildings.
Everything matched in red stone.
The designs were subtle.
The buildings were often elaborate...
... with slightly over-the-top craftsmanship
The whole thing exuded...
... peace and tranquility
There were some elegant buildings around huge courtyards
The Jami Masjid nearby is less elegant
Although the tomb of Shaikh Salim Chisti has beautifully-worked marble screens
We visited this after the Taj Mahal
They were doing some repair work from a magnificent scaffolding! Photo taken from the Mussaman Burj (octagonal tower).
Inside, the buildings have some magnificent stonework
Also, inlaid marble
