Jami Masjid, Ahmedabad

From Dwarka, the next stop was Ahmedabad still within the larger state of Gujarat.

Now this time the journey was both tiring and perhaps a mild stench was emanating for some of us haven't had a chance to shower in two days. Well, if we all smell the same way who cares right?

I can explain where the people have disappeared. It was early morning.
From the train walked to the first class waiting area, dumped our bags headed to explore the city with that couple of hours we had. First stop, Jami Masjid in the heart of a bustling city.


From afar, it appeared as if the Hindu Sadus were at the mosque clad in orange.

Carvings on the wall
It ends at some point.
Entrance
Take a good look at the following shot. What do you see?

Arabic Calligraphy

Before someone tells me that the Arabic calligraphy ought to be rotated and is displayed inaccurately, allow me to clarify. You are right. I deliberately shot it that way. For to view the original writing you have to tilt your head to your left. However, in the position it is now displayed it resembles a picture. 

Does it not look like a person, preferably a waiter carrying a tray and floating towards your left? 

Casper Style.
