These were taken last weekend at the Red Fort here in Delhi. One is the inlaid marble work on just one of the dozens of columns in Shah Jehan's Hall of Private Audiences. The fabled Peacock Throne was here in Shah Jehan's time (mid 1600s) but was carted off to Persia in the 1700s and is still in Tehran now.
The other photo is Lahore Gate, a tiny little part of the massive wall that gives the Red Fort its name. Shan Jehan, who built all this was the same guy who also built the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal in Agra.
