We've just spent a week in Rajastan with Jeff and Trish. We all loved the Taj, Red fort and Fathpur Sikri but Kida was less enamored by stones and more stones...

She preferred being chased by the photographer... |

The detailing on the mausoleum was amazing! |
|
Fathpur Sikri, built by Akbar the great in the 1500's, is a sprawling complex which mixes architectural and religious influences. |
|
This 40' arch at Fathpur Sikri sported multiple bee colonies. There are obvious locations where some colonies have come loose and crashed down to the red sandstone floor below. Happy we weren't there on that day! |
Shoes are not allowed in Fathpur Sikri so there is a 'shoe man' at the gate.
