Intricate

2007.03.05


Intricate details on such a huge door way, is a testimony to their workmanship and attention to detail. @ Golconda Fort, Hyderabad - India.

Infact, history of medieval India has stories of excellent masons/sculptors whose hands were cut off after a particular construction/creation so that they would not replicate a particular structure or design elsewhere.

Impressive work nonetheless..

maharba Man that is really something else.
Maybe the workers didn't know what their fate would be.
