Mini-temple

This construction (next to hard-traffic road) resemble everything except saint place. Anyhow, inside there are sculptures and pictures of Shiva and Buddha and religious people used to decorate it with wreaths. 

When the Gods are playing...

It was nothing to buy at this souvenirs shop, but at least you can see a good sculpture. 

TERRORISM

Nothing to say - be aware at any place of this mad world. 

Roadside point-of-sale

This is a mobile factory for sugar cane processing - you can order a glass of juice and it will be prepared on the spot. If you dare. Me not. 

Yes, it was a business trip!

Typical picture - green characters on black background: debugging in progress. I've no any evidence that this picture was taken in Delhi, so just believe me. You can see & order our equipment here.

Cow! Wow!

All my friends asked me about cows on the streets, is it true or myth like "bears in Moscow".

Believe me, it was not so hard to take this picture - you can frequently meet cows in Delhi -strolling unattended both on road and sidewalk. 

Magen David Adom in Delhi

We frequently observed vehicles with this sticker, thinking it's Israeli ambulance ;-)

Actually it's "pure geometric symbol" but we with my colleagues even indentified Hebrew word "Hai" inside. 

Government buildings in Delhi

don't know what about you, but for myself it resemble the Red Square in Moscow. 

Taking picture under six-sided stars

The Humayun's tomb use lots of "six-sided stars" in it's ornamentation. It's exaplained as "ornamental cosmic symbol used by the Mughals, adorn the structure" in the respecive inscription.

Since my person could be identified here I can't claim that it's my own shoot. 

Humayun's tomb

Humayun's tomb (1565-72 A.D.)
Hamida Banu Begum, his grieving widow, built Emperor Humayun's mausoleum. Precursor to the Taj Mahal, it stands on a platform of 12000 m² and reaches the height of 47m. The earliest example of Persian influence in Indian architecture, the tomb has within it over 100 graves, earning it the name, 'Dormitory of the Mughals'. Built of rubble masonry, the structure is the first to use red sandstone and white marble in such great quantities. The small canopies on the terrace were originally covered in glazed blue tiles, and the brass finial over the white marble dome is itself 6 m high. 

QUTB-MINAR

(citation from respective inscription)

The foundations of this world-famous tower, known as the Qutb-Minar, where laid by Qutbuodjn Aibak of the Mamluk dynasty towards the end of the twelfth century.
The construction was interrupted at the first storey by his death, and the remaining three storeys were completed in matching material and style by his successor Iltutmish commonly known as Altamash in A.D. 1230. In A.D. 1368 the minar was damaged by lightning.
Later, Firuz Shah Tughluq (A.D. 1351-88) replaced the top storey by the existing two storeys faced with marble.
Sikandar Lodi (A.D. 1489-1517) also executed some repairs to the minar in A.D. 1503, when it was again injured by lightning.

The tower has a diameter of 14.32m. at the base and about 2.75m. at the top with height of 72.5m. and ascended by 379 steps, it is the highest stone-tower in India and perfect example of minar known to exist anywhere. The variegated plan of its three lower storeys, the projecting balconies with stalactite pendentive brackets and ornate bands of inscriptions on its facades heighten its decorative effect. 

Indian Oil reseller

The gas reservoirs shipped on bicycle. 

Monkeys!

The ordinary Delhi street crowded with monkeys. 

Bike or car?

Quite typical picture: family of 4 people riding on one bike. BTW it's prohibited by traffic regulations, but who cares? (Sorry for color defects - camera was slightly damaged) 

Traffic in Delhi

The long steel rod packs carried by three-wheel bycicles. Those "vehicles" are the ordinary participants of city traffic (again, sorry for bad picture quality). 

Qutb Minar

Green parrots nesting on giant gate ruins next to Qutb Minar tower. 

Cow's march

The cows marching on Delhi streets to their "boot camp", lead by "cow marshal" in parade uniform.

Passengers or cargo?

The most typical way to carry everything - passengers mixed with cargo in truck compartment. 

Public carrier in Delhi

This "car" is three-wheel scooter fueled with gas (CNG), and even equipped with taximeter (see behind driver's back). Such cars can carry upto 4 passengers (not counting driver) and/or cargo.

Typical private car

This is typical car I've seen in Delhi - without side mirrors (in this case - just folded). Another interesting feature - geometric ornament that resemble Nazi cross.

Travelling buddhist house

This picture was shoot from the window of Shivalik service station (Delhi) during my business trip to India (Jan'06); sorry for bad quality - the window was not so clean (as every thing around).
