From: Joshi (Karnataka, India)
Depicts: Lotus Mahal (Hampi, India)
It was the second time Joshi and I swapped cards and he sent me another UNESCO World Heritage Site! this is Lotus Mahal, part of the Hampi ruins, a water pavillion located in the walled area of "Zenana" (the women's space) and it is believed that the royal women who lived nearby the Queen's Palace used this pavillion for its protected enclosure and met in Lotus Palace. The palace is a complex and intricate blend of Indo-Islamic architecture and gets its name from the lotus bud carved on its domed and vaulted ceiling.
Postcard stamp:
These are the Qutub Minar (one on the left) in Delhi and the Tokyo Tower (one on the right).
