Three Religions and One Palace


Inside an auto-rickshaw in New Delhi.


Mandir is a Hindu temple. Cameras and bags are not allowed inside the building.



This power rod, Nishan Sahib, is covered by orange fabric which is the color of the Sikh flag.




I received this marigold flower as a blessing from the Sikh priest
The Gurdwara is a major Sikh temple. We were lucky to find a ceremony taking place.
The courtyard in the Jama Masjid which can hold 25,000 worshippers.

Yet another huge building by Shah Jahan. The construction started in 1644 and finished 1658.
Its official name is Jama Masjid, which means The Mosque Mosque!?

The Red Fort ( Lal Qila) was built by Shah Jahan( the same guy who built the Taj Mahal). The construction started 1638 and was completed 1648. Not much remains of the original massive building.
