One section of the huge fort

Notice the large "bowl" it is actually a bath tub moved out from the main building

So many brownish patterns on the walls & ceilings.
They were previously gold plated patterns, but the british soldiers dig & stole them away

Some gold left on the ceiling.

Even semi precious stones were being digged out. But most were firmly "glued" to the spot.

Taj Mahal in the distance

The Indian army is still occupying this fort, only some sections are opened to the public.
The army stays in such beautiful place
