The structures at Hiran Minar evoke a mixture of complete serenity,

of man-made and nature�s grand design blending into a perfect

harmony. The almost square water �reservoir/ pond is built from the

traditional Mughal thin brick-lined ramps/slopes acting as watering

paths for the Royal Deer and other animals in the surrounding Royal

Hunting forests consisting of scrubs, Shisham and Keekar trees.

Monsoon rain water is collected into this water reservoir. The

Mughals had perfected the art/science of collecting rain water about

500 years ago and specialized in creating gardens that reflected

this mastery.

Ancient royal culture, accessible for nowadays masses. How would it have been then? For them, for me? The sunset coloured arcs and walls match well with the blue boats. The composition is simple but effective.

Many artists left their portrait (and the one of their loved ones) in their pictures.

With the healing brush it would be easy to clean the sky.
