The trip to the dargah and Humayun's tomb was an overwhelming one as we were dazzled by the colours, the vendors, the alleys and the Mughal architecture. Nevertheless we had a jolly time as it was a beautiful and sunny day too.
The Aga Khan Foundation have done a wonderful job with the ongoing conservation work at Humayun's tomb and indeed the whole place glowed in the dappled sunlight. We also bumped into Architecture students from Mumbai who were there for their sketching assignments. The Delhi Sketchers and the Mumbai students admired each others' work and even discussed a possible collaboration for the future!
Here are the sketches and yes, a selfie of us too at the end of the page :-)
