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
No a fort, but an abandoned town.
I loved the elegant buildings.
Everything matched in red stone.
The buildings were often elaborate...
... with slightly over-the-top craftsmanship
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
