Diwan-i-Khas, City Palace

This was the formal hall to greet VIP ("khas") guests visiting Jaipur and receiving the audience of the Maharaja of Jaipur.

Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, founder of Jaipur, the capital replacing Amber. The architectural style employed is a mix of Rajasthani Hindu and Mughal influences.

wonderful work ashish ... try little more "burning" to this one to avoid harsh contrast and bring out the red tones inside IMHO :)

Thanks everyone - I appreciate the comments :)

@ !!sahrizvi!!: what is burning? I up satted the reds a bit and the shadows in aperture.
@ Aubrey: thank you... I found the Indian arches fairly intimidating and hard to capture well!
@ memetic: thanks mate, I normally like urban images (love Japan, HK etc) but the pics actually are turning out decently, which is surprising
@ skind24: thanks mate, it was kinda hard hehe (see comment @ Aubrey) - cheeers

Hello,

I am Nikhil. I'm a volunteer editor on Wikipedia. We were wondering if we could use this image on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. You would be given credit of course and a link to this site would be placed.

You would have to change the license of this image to Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not accept non-commercial licenses. You can change the license by clicking "edit" next to All Rights Reserved and then clicking Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons.

Many other flickr users have had their works published in blogs, newspapers, and magazines this way. I can provide you some examples if you'd like.

We hope you will help us improve Wikipedia since millions of people use it everyday. Your help will improve the India related articles on the site. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks so much.
Nikhil
