Artwork on the walls of Amber fort

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Amer fort,popularly known as Amber fort in Jaipur India.I usually don't share my travels on this blog but,the artworks on the walls and ceilings of this fort were so beautiful that I thought of sharing some of it with you.There are many forts and palaces across India and all have impressive artwork in various styles.This fort was built in the later part of the 15 TH century on a hill, in the Mughal and Rajput style of architecture.Here are pictures of the artwork on the walls of Amber fort. Enjoy!

Art at the Christmas market -Delhi-2011

 In the first week of December 2011 the Indo- German chamber of commerce hosted their annual Christmas market in Delhi.Smaller than the Christmas markets of Europe but,popular- this  Christmas market had stalls selling Christmas decorations,paintings,clothing,art and craft,cutlery,and german foods like Stollen a popular German cake sold during the season,sausages,Mulled wine and waffles. The roof top restaurant had on the menu German style mashed potatoes,fried chicken and a few other dishes.

 It was very crowded and although I stood in line to buy food at the roof top restaurant ,I came out of line midway as I noticed too many flies on the food.I however,did buy their cake"Stollen" ,some waffles and mulled wine along with some other things. Loved all the art and craft on display,love the paintings in the pictures below.

 All in all it was a lovely sunny day in winter made lovelier with good food and beautiful crafts.
