This detail is from the Qutb Minar in Delhi, an amazing 13th century set of Indo-Muslim buildings and monuments. The carving on these massive buildings is so intricate and delicate. Most of the ancient structures in Delhi were built and carved with red sandstone, so this beige tone was unusual. The park was pleasantly crowded with Indian tourists, street dogs, and wild parrots. Even though it's a big city, there are a lot of beautiful, ancient sites to see in Delhi.
