Description
Akbar the Great, the 'tolerant Emperor' I was referring to in my previous post is buried in this imposing mausoleum, whose architectural style is influenced by Islamic architecture. Akbar had planned the tomb and selected a suitable site for it, but the mausoleum was built then by his son Jahangir, the successor and fourth Mughal emperor of India .
My previous photo showed one of the side arches to the building, whereas today's post features a detailed part of the main entrance to the mausoleum. The famous Taj Mahal lies not far from Akbar's tomb, and was built by Akbar's grandson Shah Jahan for his deceased wife Mumtaz Mahal....
Please, zoom in for more details !Thank you so much for your support, and have a nice week.

Pristine shot! Great clarity and sharpness. Love the building designs and artistic siding.
Great.
La beauté de la géométrie ! Je pense que mes élèves aimeraient bien plus les notions géométriques s'ils se rendaient compte de ce qu'elles permettent de construire. Un bien bel hommage à cet empereur et d'après ce que tu racontes, ce mausolée doit être aussi fantastique que son maître d’œuvre. Une très belle capture. Un grand bravo
Quel magnifique cadrage qui souligne les formes et la majesté de ces constructions! Excellente photographie, Jean-Luc!
Stunning artwork
Marvelous architecture and great shot !!!
Beautiful and very interesting shot !!
there use to be a pro wrestler 'Skandor Akbar' that was born in Wichita Falls, Texas. I have heard the name Akbar the Great so many times without knowing if he was an actual person of history.
I love the designs and style
Magnificent place and capture, dear Jean _Luc. Kisses Galore. DIDI. xx
It is very nice!
Une telle beauté me donne envie d'y aller...en courant ! Mais c'est si loin et moi qui ai passé une partie de ma vie dans les avions, je ne supporte plus les longs voyages et, surtout, les attentes sans fin dans les aérogares. Heureusement, il y a des artistes comme toi qui nous font partager les merveilles du vaste monde.
Ce palais est superbe, et ta photo, avec ce cadrage, met bien en valeur sa complexité architecturale, très beau cliché, Jean-Luc !
I just adore this geometry!!!
A fine photo and stunning subject matter! Well captured!
outstanding woodwork and beautiful decorated walls! impressive architecture and a fantastic capture 😃
Magnifique photo, cadrage et lumière superbe.
Fantastic and wonderful architecture.
Excellent
Very nice photo, great architecture.
I like the composition Jean-Luc. Beautiful detail in the architectural design. I lost interest in going to India, but i would like to see the Taj Mahal and these buildings and Kashmir. India to me has gotten too crowded and too westernized.
A very well exposed image and I love the colors!
very good work
wonderful
Beautiful.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
Beautiful Oriental architecture. Throws you back into a time when myth and magic were still alive. :)
Exellent.
