Shah Jahani Mahal
2023 Dec 19
Shah Jahani Palace is located between Khas Mahal and Jahangiri Mahal, in between these two major residential complexes of two different ages.
It is believed to be the earliest attempt of Shah Jahan to convert an existing redstone building according to his requirements. It is his earliest palace in Agra Fort. The whole palace is once believed to have glistened like white marble.
Underground apartments in several stories are also situated under this palace
Anguri Bagh
2023 Dec 19
This was basically a grape garden surrounded by the residences of the royal ladies (Zenana) and was believed to produce the choicest grapes.
It was constructed in the normal Mughal Char Bagh type garden structure with elevated pathways.
There is a fountain in the centre of the criss-cross pathways. Unfortunately it is no longer functioning.
It is still a beautiful place, through the grapes have long been forgotten!
Very well-preserved.
Kanch Mahal
2023 Dec 19
Kanch Mahal is a beautiful small structure (by Mughal standards ), believed to have been built between 1605 - 1619.
It is believed to have served primarily as the residence of harems though evidence also points to its use by the emperor Jehangir as a hunting lodge.
The two-storey building is currently mostly in ruins, but is nevertheless an enduring example of Mughal architecture.
The interiors, adorned with intricate glazed tiles give the Kanch Mahal its distinctive name.
Jayanagar
2023 Feb 14
Visited this station in December 2022, to go to Sapna Book House
Very quiet station, at least on that day. Having stayed in Bangalore during 22 of my formative years, I know that Jayanagar 4th Block is a very busy locality, nevertheless the station seemed to be quiet, without many passengers.
Very clean and well-maintained.
Trinity
2022 Aug 18
Trinity Metro railway station is located at the Trinity Circle, directly opposite to the Holy Trinity Church, one of Bangalore's oldest churches, and one of my favourite places of worship.
This is located on the purple line and connects from Byappanahalli (now Whitefield ) to the Mysore Road Bus Terminal. It is quite a busy station as Trinity junction is quite a crowded business and shopping district, with several theatres and hotels in the mix.
The station is quite neat and clean, and security is tight. Last visited in June 2019.
