    Manek Chowk

    Posted by Dabby 3 November 2006

    An area of the centre of town that has some really beautiful temples hidden away behind vendors and down slightly worrying alleys! You can nearly always find a kind local who will be willing to show you around.

    There is a tomb of Ahmed Shah which has amazing celings and latice work - if you take a wander across the street there is the tomb of his wife and all the female members of the Shah family which is slightly more delapadated but worth a look.

    Behind the main tomb there is an absolutely enormous mosque (I think it's called Jami Masjid) which is really beautiful. Mind the marbel though - it gets really hot. In the main section there are millions of coloums that are all hand carved and pretty incredible. Look up!

    In the Manek Chowk area there is also a good market to have a wander around. Worth a few hours of your time.

    North of the centre on the MG road
