Section10, top margin C, left margin b,
just northwest of Aurangabad |
 |
The hilltop fortress of Daulatabad (formerly
Devgiri) looms so large above the plain-- how could any artist resist? |
 |
A few early photos of the citadel, which
for the Delhi Sultans (and the Mughals after them) became the key to the
Deccan |
 |
The Jama Masjid, at the foot of the hill |
 |
Another Delhi Sultanate victory tower: the
remarkable Chand Minar (c.1294) |
 |
The fortress itself is suitably formidable |
