An evening at Qutub Shahi Tombs

The Qutb Shahi Tombs are located in the Ibrahim Bagh (garden precinct), close to the famous Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad, India. They contain the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single storey while the larger ones are two storied. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.

STREET PROJECT – 2

This series is from one of the most famous markets in Hyderabad, The MONDA MARKET. It has this unique character of colors, lights and people. Someday, I would love to shoot a movie in these streets.
