PNike (Prashanth Naik)
A room full of mirrors
So I've been talking a lot about the amazing palaces and forts in Rajasthan and I've also been showing you guys many of them from the outside.
Finally here is an image of the interiors of one such fort called the Mehrangarh fort of Jodhpur. It is in fact, one of the largest forts in all of India with massive high walls and impressive architecture. This room has some very detailed and intricate carvings and incredible paintings and is filled with mirrors all over the walls and the ceiling.
I could not fit the whole room in one exposure so I tool two separate shots and stitched them together to form a vetorama.
Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!

About Jodhpur:
Jodhpur is the second largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is located 335 kilometres (208 mi) west from the state capital, Jaipur. It was formerly the seat of a princely state of the same name, the capital of the kingdom known as Marwar. Jodhpur is a popular tourist destination, featuring many palaces, forts and temples, set in the stark landscape of the Thar desert.
About Rajasthan
Rājasthān (the land of colours[1]) the land of Rajasthanis, is the largest state of the Republic of India by area. It encompasses most of the area of the large, inhospitable Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert), which has an edge paralleling the Sutlej-Indus river valley along its border with Pakistan. The state is bordered by Pakistan to the west, Gujarat to the southwest, Madhya Pradesh to the southeast, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to the northeast and Punjab to the north. Rajasthan covers an area of 132,150 sq mi or 342,239 km². The proportion of the state's total area to the total area of the country is 10.41 per cent.
Jaipur is the capital and the largest city of the state. Geographical features include the Thar Desert along north-western Rajasthan and the termination of the Ghaggar River near the archaeological ruins at Kalibanga, which are the oldest in the subcontinent discovered so far.
