Purana Qila: Delhi
Interior of Purana Qila
QALA-I-KUHNA-MASJID: The single-domed Qila-i-Kuna Mosque, built by Sher Shah in 1541 is an excellent example of a pre-Mughal design. The prayer hall inside has five elegant arched niches or mihrabs set in its western wall. Marble in shades of red, white and slate is used for the calligraphic inscriptions and marks a transition from Lodhi to Mughal architecture. A second storey provided space for female courtiers to pray, while the arched doorway on the left wall, framed by ornate jharokas, was reserved for members of the royal family.Click Here for more Pics...

Parashar Lake : Mandi (Himachal Pradesh)
Recently one of my friend visited Parashar lake in Himachal. Parashar lake is in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, 40 kms from Mandi town. With deep blue water, this beautiful lake is held sacred to the sage Parashar. A three-tiered Pagoda-like temple dedicated to the sage lies by the lake - and he is regarded to have meditated here.
Even its in my home district but never got a chance to visit this place. But I have heard a lot about this place. Hope that soon I go and capture this place in my Camera :)
