Humayan's Tomb. Press "L" for a beautiful black background.
Humayun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. The tomb was the idea of Humayun's wife Hamida Banu Begum in 1562 CE, and was designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyath. It is located in New Delhi, India. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is still underway today. It is said that Shah Jahan, the man behind the Taj Mahal, was given architectural inspiration from the structure and they both [the Taj Mahal] are very similar in design. It is a beautiful strucutre and is also not a heavy tourist site either! More Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humayun's_tomb

A Delightful tomb. It is so spectacular that i don't know what the idea of death was to the builder or to the ones buried here.
This is Humayun's Tomb, situated near Nizzamudhin in Delhi. It reminds one of another monument also etched in popular memory- The Taj Mahal- although this predates the Taj.
sleeping in a gunny bag cradle: Taken in a malto village near rajputa area in Jharkhand, we climbed a hill for two hours to get to this little village, where villagers welcomed us with drums and a song that is melancholy and magical at the same time. then they made us sit and while the singing was going on they washed our feel with water and some kind of oil, and little girls put a garland of flowers picked from the hills around my neck, it was a great experience to be there, this kid just slept through the whole thing unmindful of the booming drums in the background.
‘Boom Boom mattukarans’ or ‘Gangireddu’ or ‘Gangiyeddu’ are semi –nomads and lead a usually lead a nomadic life. They earn a living by bringing their decorated bull trained to shake head whenever a question is posed to it, to houses, shops, establishments. If it shakes its head up and down it denotes ‘yes’ and if it is sideways the answer is presumed to be ‘no’. It is amusing to see the ‘Gangireddu', the bull decorated with colourful clothes and bells. It also bites the hand of its master and then places its legs on his chest without hurting him during the story narration when the master deliberately changes the story sequences.

Qutab Minar. Press "L" for a beautiful black background.
Qutab Minar, behind the is the tallest brick minaret in the world, standing at 237 feet and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The five stage minaret was ordered in 1193 by India's first Muslim ruler, the Qutb-ud-din Aibak, but during his lifetime only the 14.3 meter wide base was completed. The third Sultan, Iltutmish completed the middle three levels, and by 1368 Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq added the fifth level, measuring 2.75 metres diagonally and completing the Minaret to reach 72 metres high.
The entire structure is built with red sandstone bricks and some are likely to have been re-used from the ruins of Lal Kot, or the Red Citadel which stood here in the 6th century during the time of the last Chauhan Hindi rulers of Delhi. There are 379 steps leading to the topmost fifth level and each of the levels is separated by a muqarna or stalactite corbel, decorated by Cufic inscriptions from the Koran. Apart from being the most prominent, the Qutab Minar is also probably the best surviving example of the earliest Indo-Islamic architecture. More Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutab_Minar
