Jami Masjid
Jami Masjid Courtyard in Mandu, Madhya Pradesh, India. Jami Masjid was inspired by the great mosque of Damascus, this enormous structure is striking in both its simplicity and architectural style-with large courtyards and grand entrances. Coming to the end of my walk around Mandu the Ruined City I took this HDR shot as the shadows were quite strong. The symmetry is nigh on perfect of Jami Masjid which is in stark contrast to the ruins around. Thinking back Mandu is described as the “Ruined City” but the gardens are kept immaculate.
