[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Took this shot from the top of the Charminar in Sepia mode. This is directly opposite to the mecca masjid at Charminar.

Charminar is a 500 year old structure. Symbol for Hyderabad city.

Walking around the Charminar area, one is constantly surprised by vestiges of the past intermingling with the present. Towards the Southeast of the Charminar is located imposing edifice of the Nizamia Unani Hospital. About 50m to the West, the line of shops in Lad Bazaar is interupted by an old, crumbling brown wall, which marks the entrance to the old Nizama's Jilau Khana (parade ground). The grounds are now being used for the development of a large commercial complex. Further down, a road to the left leads to the Khilawat Complex (Chowmahalla Palace). The Lad Bazaar road terminates in a square called Mahaboob Chowk where a large 19th century clock-tower looms over a delicate white mosque of the same period.

hi Sreya

It is always planned that I shall visit India but after viewing TL on so many photogenic places and people, I really am lost where to go, especially the scenic north of mountains and the south of subtropical. Even looking the map of India can be endless moment of wondering along the routes to every spot of the land.

It must be a land with the utmost numbers of mosques and temples. And each Indian member has a strong pull to TL gallery, while you are showing different kind of daily life scenery here of the Charminar with big crowds and busy hour. Very interesting indeed and I think it will take endless time to explore this country.

Good work. And keep shooting.
