The Aga Khan Mausoleum is the tomb of Sultan Mahommed Shah the Aga Khan III and is located in the Egyptian city of Aswan. Shortly before his death, the Aga Khan chose a location on the west bank of the Nile as his final resting place. The location was highly symbolic, centuries before the ancestors of the Aga Khan, had founded the Fatimid dynasty, with its capital in Cairo. The Fatimid represented one of the heydays of Muslim culture, who were patrons of the arts, architecture, literature, pluralism, and scientific endeavors, fields that were equally cherished by the Aga Khan.
El Mausoleo del Aga Khan es la tumba del Sultán Mahommed Shah el Aga Khan III y está ubicada en la ciudad egipcia de Asuán. Poco antes de su muerte, el Aga Khan escogió una ubicación sobre la rivera occidental de Nilo, como el lugar para su último descanso. La ubicación era sumamente simbólica, siglos antes los antepasados del Aga Khan, habían fundado la dinastía Fatimí, con capital en El Cairo. El fatimí representó uno de los apogeos de la cultura musulmana, que fueron mecenas de las artes, la arquitectura, la literatura, el pluralismo y los esfuerzos científicos, campos que eran igualmente apreciados por el Aga Khan.
It was a photo similar to this, that made me decide on Aga Khan as a location to take some photos. I am very happy with the reflections and photos overall.

This is Khan. We believe she is the feral mother of Sulah and Anna. She remains an outdoor cat with minimal trust but we feed her when she shows up.
The tomb of the noble Isa Khan Niazi is located in the Humayun's Tomb complex in Delhi, India. The mausoleum, octagonal in shape and built mainly of red sandstone, was built in 1547–1548 during the reign of Sher Shah Suri. The mosque of Isa Khan is located west of the mausoleum, which along with other buildings form the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Humayun's tomb complex.
The mausoleum houses the tomb of Isa Khan Niazi, who was a noble at the courts of Sher Shah Suri and Islam Shah Suri. It is situated south of the Bu Halima's garden in the Humayun's Tomb complex. An inscription at the tomb mentions that it was built in c. 1547–1548. It also says the tomb is an "asylum of paradise" built during the reign of Sher Shah. The mosque, located west of the mausoleum, was built in c. 1547.
Comprehensive restoration work was done through the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), in collaboration with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 2011-2015.
The tomb was constructed in the Lodi style architectural. Its octagonal shape, the hallmark of the Lodhi era, stands on a low plinth. Verandahs surround the central chamber. Each side of the chamber consists of three arches with one chajja (roof) present over each. The mausoleum's architectural style is similar to those of Mubarak Shah, Muhammad Shah, Khan-i-Jahan Tilangani and Sikander Lodi.
The mausoleum is built mainly with grey quartzite with red sandstone used for ornamentation. Stucco plaster envelops the rough masonry. Different coloured tiles have been used on the walls for decoration. The tomb's gateway stands on a one-metre-high podium reached by stairs. The square head doorway of the gate chamber has been built in Hindu architectural style.
Inside the mausoleum, the tomb is enclosed by an inner octagonal wall. Other than the southern and western walls, the other walls consist of jalis (latticed screens), which are recessed. These recesses, in turn, contain four-centred arches. The western wall has the main mihrab (a semi-circular niche in the wall which indicates the direction of Mecca, the direction in which Muslims pray). The mihrab is four centred and bordered by Quranic verses. The southern wall includes the main entrance to the building. The medallion located at the centre of the dome is ornamented with Persian floral designs. It also has a Quranic verse.
The tomb chamber consists of six tombs—two large and four smaller. Sandstone slabs are used to pave the floor. The cenotaph of Isa Khan Niazi is made of red sandstone and marble.
Le Preah Khan (« épée sacrée » en khmer) était un complexe monastique bouddhiste nommé Jayaçri (« victoire glorieuse » en sanskrit) en l'honneur de la victoire sur les Chams de Jayavarman VII qui l'érigea en 1191.
Le site a servi de ville provisoire pendant la construction d'Ankgor Thom et le monastère fut terminé après que Jayavarman VII se fut installé dans son nouveau palais (1190).
Il est dédié à Dharanindra Varman II, le père du roi bâtisseur qui est idéalisé ici sous la forme du Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara.
Left the temple complex of Preah Khan through its western gate. (Khmer temples normally face east towards the rising sun, the symbol of life. However, Angkor Wat faces west, so it is sometimes believed to be a temple of the dead or the king's mausoleum). At some temples, tourists have a choice whether to enter/exit through the eastern or western gates. The man on the right gives some scale to the size of the doorways.
The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

Wikipedia: The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from coastal northeast India, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water.
Conservation status: Least Concern
"Preah Khan" (Sacred Sword) is no doubt related to the sword historically carried by Angkorian kings as a symbol of their authority.
Isa Khan's Tomb is situated just outside the Humayun's tomb precincts in New Delhi. It was built in the honor of Isa Khan, a brave and valiant noble under Sher Shah, the Afghan ruler who had overthrown Humayun. It was built in 1547, in an octagonal pattern. It is an architectural gem in the Islamic art in India and remained a model tomb amongst the ruling families in its time. Said to be inspired by the tomb of Sikandar Lodi, which is 300 years older than the Isa Khan tomb, it can boast of having more graceful proportions. The 'chhatris' or small kiosks and pinnacles around the dome that were introduced here look quite elegant.
The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans.
