Summary
| Description |
Ajmer's Dhai-din-ka-Jhonpra, built in 1153. Named so either because the construction took 2 1/2 days or in honour of a local festival lasting 2 1/2 days. What is beyond dispute is that it was constructed using material from torn-down Hindu and Jain edifices. Mohammad of Ghori commissioned it, which explains why its style would hardly look out-of-place in say, Isfahan or Samarkand. Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. Oct '12. |
