India: Delhi & Mubai


Incredible India




From the in-flight screen: Mumbai - Delhi



Quwatul Islam Mosque, India's first ancient mosque



A different angle




The tranquility within the mosque's compound







A Close shot...





Notice the markings on the structure...fine art




Splendid Monument




The mosque is basically surrounded by ruins...







Another shot






It is more of a visitor's landmark.. an unused mosque but preserved under the National Heritage




Angled Shot







It was truly splendid







The Red Fort... mimic's the Lahore Fort in Pakistan








Inside Lahore Fort









Deemed as the Presidential Palace during those times



Akshordharma Temple. You have to see it to believe, unfortunately, no cameras were allowed into the place as it was considered a sacred temple. But truly worth a visit.



India Gate... at the heart of Delhi








Mumbai, sea view... from my hotel room



One of the monuments perched on top a pillar in the Parliement compound


The ol' skool scene... also at the Parliement





The long road along the Parliement area








The Grandeur Parliement road stretches almost 2km... reminds me of Paris near the Eiffel Tower








All in a day at Delhi




The Parliement area








An angled shot



One of the crowded shopping malls in Gurgaon, about 30km off Delhi
