Last few days in Delhi

Lighting up a Gurdwara


The school run


Jama Masjid


Among the pigeons


Entrance to the Jama Masjid, with the Red Fort behind


Our street and beyond

Hazy Old Delhi skyline


Dotted border


Red and red


Pigeon clad domes


Enforced sarong


Leaning and scratching


Washing toes


Old Delhi traffic from above


And from a rickshaw


Glancing left


Jain towers


Inside the Red Fort, built by Shah Jahan (along with the Jama Masjid), who planned to move the capital from Agra to his new city of Shahjahanabad in Delhi - had he not been deposed and imprisoned in Agra Fort by his son.


Men 'at work'


Buckets and guns


The Diwan-i-Am, the Hall of Public Audiences


Perched in the Diwan-i-Khas, the Hall of Private Audiences


The lovely Lodi Gardens, home of parrots and swerving cyclists


One of the crumbling Lodi garden's tombs - possibly that of the wonderfully named Bara Gumbad.


Humayun's tomb - built by the senior wife of Mughal emperor Humayun


Woman in blue


More tomb


Outside Gandhi Smriti, where Gandhi was shot dead in 1948, and which now houses a museum with a lesson - there is a limit to how much interactive technology a museum can take.


Imperial tea


First and only chandelier


The last night of being watched
