Thatta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is located about 150 km from Karachi, Pakistan and is home to one of the oldest/largest necropolis in the world, with tombs dating back to the 14th century. A friend’s family generously took me there last Sunday and it was refreshing to soak in some history (never a favorite subject in school). On our way back, we stopped at a dig-site which goes by the name of Bhambore, home to a 2nd century BC civilization. Presented here are a few shots that I took there as well as along the way. Hope you like them!
Resting in the shade
The corridors of a mausoleum
Another view of the corridor
The mausoleum
Engravings on a Grave
The arches
Through the looking glass
The way I was, before the sands of time passed me by
Long gone, I still linger
Arch-ed nemesis
Bite me
The snake charmer
Shahjahani Masjid
Depth perception
Arching it up
Under the dome
Timeless tiling
The arabesque - the corner-stone of Islamic architecture
Glass bangles
A 1000-year old bowl
Barbers of the past - broken scissors found at the dig-site
Girl's best friend - semi-precious
The ruins o' Bhambhore - remind me of Ozymandias
Going their separate ways
Leaving time behind
Roll over and play dead
Donkey, where's Shrek?
When all you've left is hope
Sindh Road Truckers
Junk in the trunk
Insanity at its best!
