A series of arches at the Qutub Shahi Tombs



















A corridor of arches surrounding the main chamber of the tomb. The group of people seen is standing at the entrance. On the ceiling between two arches there is an exquisite pattern in a circle and each one is different!

You walk through a series of arches, so to speak, and then, presently, at the end of a corridor, a door opens and you see backward through time, and you feel the flow of time, and realize you are only part of a great nameless procession. -John Huston

Thanks for your visiting:) Yeap, I know that my name is also used in your country India, that I have been informed about this fact from my friend in America. I do not know what it means my name in your own culture, but here in Turkey, it has got two-meaning; one is a new spring, second is a working bee. What my family informed me that I'm a working bee:) They could not choose a better name than this one if I do think of my life past to today:) Always work hardworking!
Oh no, I did not know if Nizam Hyderabad is from Turkey; all yours noted, thanks a lot:)
