Tamples And Other Places To Visit

Nilkanth

          The sacred Shiva shrine is sited in a magnificent setting, at the very edge of a steep gorge. In its tree shaded courtyard, a sacred pond is fed by a stream, and pilgrims still gather to worship here.

Jami Masjid

               Inspired by the great mosque of Damascus, the jami Masjid was conceived on a grand scale, with a high plinth and a huge dome porch projecting in the center, the background dominated by similar imposing domes with the intervening space filled up by seemingly innumerable domes. One is at once struck here by the hugeness of the building's proportions and the stern simplicity of its construction. The great court of the mosque is enclosed on all side by huge colonnades with a rich and pleasing variety in the arrangement of arches, pillars, number of bays, and in the rows of domes above.

Rewa Kund

              A reservoir built by Baz Bahadur with an aqueduct to prove Roopmati's palace with water. Today, the pool is reserved as a sacred spot

Hoshang Shah's Tomb

                 India's first marble edifice is one of the most refined examples of Afghan architecture. Its unique features are the magnificently proportioned dome, marble latticework of remarkable delicacy and porticoed courts and towers to mark the four corners of the rectangle. Shah Jehan sent four of his greatest architects to study the design of and draw inspiration from the tomb. Among them was Ustad Hamid who was associated with the construction of Taj Mahal.
