Prayer for Peace
The south entrance of the grand old Jama Masjid of Old Delhi, the largest and most famous mosque of India wears a rather dreary look on an afternoon as the spring sets in this part of the world.May the prayers of all those people who visit this place be directed towards promoting peace and harmony among fellow human beings, and may all those prayers reach the Almighty and may peace prevail everywhere in the world; a world which has been living under the scare of terrorism for quite sometime now. |

Up Close with Qutub
Long before the Mughals came to the country, India was already witnessing a remarkable surge in construction of archtectural wonders. Qutub Minar, world’s tallest brick tower at 72.5m, was built by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the Sultan of Delhi and was completed by his successors Iltutmish and Feroz Sha Tughlaq. Construction began in 1193 and that makes it over 800 years old, the monument still stands tall, attracting around 4 million visitors every year.While people are awestruck just by the height of the Minar, they tend not to notice the beautiful art work and the intricate carvings on the wall. May be this close look reveal the beautiful work! |

The Golden Safari
No wonder they called this country a Bird of Gold. Throughout the ancient and medieval ages, there was an abundance of gold in India, which was gradually pillaged over the years by foreign invaders. Statues and sculptures like these were very common. Apart from the gold itself, the intricate carving in such figurines speaks volumes of the ancient Indian art. Courtesy: National Museum, New Delhi
