Sharing some of my work

Today I wanted to share some of the random pictures from my collection. There are times when you capture some of the most beautiful pictures. During my travelling and routine life I have captured hundreds of pictures. Some of them I share with you in my posts but there are some pictures which are not related to that particular article and I love those pictures. So today I wanted to share some of those pictures with you.
One day I was having a breakfast in a restaurant and I captured one of the most beautiful and amazing picture I have ever taken. Beautiful, isn't it ?

While I was in the Tomb of Jahangir and I was going up the minaret I captured this pic. I don't know why but I like this picture.

I took this next picture on the mall road of Murree.
Sometimes there are little things which seems to be unimportant at that particular time but when you think about them later you realize how they those little things add to the beauty of that whole scenery and how much those little things are important.

I took these pictures on the Fort road Food Street. I always look at these pictures and admire all the minor details of these pictures.

And there are some pictures are just amazing.

I would love to end this post with this flower :)
This flower is for everybody who read this post.

Tomb of Jahangir

Today I am to going write about the tomb of one of the great Mughal emperors of India (sub-continent) known by his imperial name Jahangir. Jahangir who ruled the great India for about 22 years and built beautiful structures all across the sub-continent lies in his beautiful tomb near Lahore.
Tomb of Jahangir is a mausoleum built for Emperor Jahangir by his son Shah Jahan 10 years after the death of his father. This tomb is located near the town of Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Pakistan. The entrance of mausoleum is through two massive gateways of stone. They are of red colour and they are beautifully decorated.

After entering the gateway you  look at the massive and attractive walled garden. The tomb is present the middle of the walled garden.

The tomb has 4 large minarets which are at least 30 meters high.
The tomb is embellished with frescoes and pietra dura inlay and coloured marble.
I managed to take some beautiful pictures of some the beautiful architectural work done in this tomb.

The corridor around the mausoleum is adorned with the most elegant mosaic, representing flowers and Quranic verses.

Before entering the tomb you have to pass through a huge gate which is guarded by guards.
After entering it you have to walk through the beautiful gallery to the grave which you can see in the below pictures is simply breathtaking.

 taking. The interior of the tomb is an elevated sarcophagus of white marble, the sides of which are wrought with flowers of mosaic in the same elegant style as the tombs in the Taj Mahal at Agra. One the sides of the sarcophagus the ninety nine attributes of ALLAH are inlaid in black.

Hope you liked the pictures and this little trip :)

Fort Road Food Street

Another article of Lahore. I think i am in love with this city :P
Food street is the whole street just for food. It includes restaurants and hotels where you can enjoy the traditional foods of Lahore.
Well there are two food streets in Lahore. One is near Anarkali bazar which is quite old and the other one is near Lahore Fort, the one that I am going to write about.
On the Gate of Food Street two big artificial lions welcome you.

1.2 km long this V-shaped food street was specially redesigned to fulfill the traditional look of Desi Food points. Some of the buildings there are about 100 years old. Many of them were renovated.

It is built along side the wall of Badshahi Mosque. At night this place is worth seeing. It is attached with Lahore Fort through Roshni Gate which is open for visitors all day and night.
Architectures and interior designs has put special efforts to enhance the environment with historical masterpieces and lighting.

Food street also has a central sitting place which is surrounded by the backs of all restaurants.

The Fort Road food street has become the most interesting place for food lovers. Daily hundreds of people enjoy dining here with amazing outdoor dining experience. You can enjoy all types of traditional dish.
Some of the restaurants like Fort View or Cocos have the amazing view of Lahore Fort from their roofs. You can also dine on their roofs. These roofs give you the finest scenery around.

I personally dined at Cocos and they lived up to my expectations.

I highly recommend that after dining , people don't forget to enjoy a walk inside the Lahore Fort. Entrance through Roshni gate to enjoy the mesmerizing atmosphere in front of Lahore Fort , Badshahi Mosque and Baradari.
Average cost of dining per person is around 850 PKR. In food week you get special discounts on all the restaurants.
Frankly don't worry about which point to select among numerous. Every point has something good to offer :)
Hope you liked this place :)

Sheesh Mahal

Sheesh Mahal is the most fascinating place I found in whole Lahore fort. So i decided to write an whole article for it.
Sheesh Mahal which literally means 'Crystal Palace' is among the 21 monuments that were built by successive Mughal emperors inside Lahore Fort, and forms the jewel in the Fort's crown.

As we all know Sheesh Mahal was constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is called Sheesh Mahal (Crystal Palace) due to its pietra dura decorations and intricate mirror-work inlaid into the white marble walls and ceilings creating gleaming effect. Sometimes it is also called "Hall of mirrors" because its main hall is full of mirrors.

The facade which consists of five marble arches opens into the courtyard. The engrailed spandrels and bases  are inlaid with precious stones.

The courtyard of Sheesh Mahal is very big and it has number of water pathways. It also contains a small  central pond which has a platform

Another important structure present in its courtyard is Naulakha Pavilion which is a prominent white marble personal chamber with a curvilinear roof.

It was also built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan as a small summer house. But this small summer house cost around 900,000 rupees when it was built which was an exorbitant amount at that time. It is called Naulakha because in Urdu language this word means 9 lakh (0.9 million) rupees.
It cost that much because it was decorated with precious metals and stones.

I hope you liked this trip :)
