Namasté!
It´s getting colder in Delhi. Today I had long trousers and a cardigan.
I visited Old Delhi with a friend and totally forgot to bring my camera. It´s narrow streets crowed with people, rickshaws, dogs, motorbikes, cycles and lovely small shops. People from all over India buy things for their weddings here. The priest tells which dates will be considered as good dates for weddings due to horoscope.
After this trip I went to a meeting with the teachers at the Swedish school. The children have lessons once a week for 1,5 hour. I teach the oldest group and they study Swedish through Sofia distans in Stockholm. This is a great way to keep up their Swedish language.
Last week I joined a tour with seven cities group. I didn´t expected it to be a nice tour but it was!! One learn a lot of India history and make lots of friends at these occasions. When I have guests visiting me, I can guide them all around the seven cities of Dehli.
Welcome!
We are five Swedish ladies in the group. Here are two of them telling us about Purana Qila.
Qula-i-Khona Masjid is considered to be the most important mosque of Delhi. The central bay is domed.
Do you see the entrances becoming higher and higher?
Looking at the delicate carvings in the interior all in stone, a feature that sets this mosque apart from others.
Sher Mandal was built by Sher Shah Sur in the 16th century . It is a three storey octagonal tower, one of the first "Pleasure Pavilions" to have been built in Delhi. It´s made of sandstone and marble and was Humayun´s library and observatory.
Action a la Anne!
