Having visited at least 4 forts, 4 palaces and 3 tombs, my India trip was very much an architectural 'field trip'... And really, India is a photographer's haven, not only because of the beautiful architecture at many tourist attractions, but also because the locals' saris and kurtas come in all sorts of vibrant colors. Despite fantasies of taking award-winning portraits of locals (once in a while only lah), I often find it awkward and difficult to just click away in ppl's faces. And so everytime 80% of my pictures end up featuring inanimate objects heh...
I love the arches, the resultant play with light and interesting shadows created. We also saw many many intricately carved marble screens. Many of which were meant to let the palace ladies have a glimpse of the outside world without revealing their pretty faces to outsiders.

Me @ Hawal Mahal (Palace of Winds) in Jaipur. It's this small palace along busy streets of Old Jaipur... with many many tiny windows for women to peek at street affairs
Nice shadows at the Red Fort in New Delhi

Screens galore! At various palaces and forts. The designs of the 9-in-1 one is simply amazing...
