A boy that was very lost in his thoughts as I passed by him, taken at the alleys of Nizamuddin quarter.#india #delhi #nizamuddin #streethttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00005_Zt7Ctlo9c

Not all people even bother to go inside the baoli to collect some blessed water, maybe because to the nuisance of having to go past the gate and gatekeeper, some just ask someone who’s inside to get it, like the kids diving from the ledges.#Nizamuddin #Delhi #Sufi  #islam #Indiahttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000oXFSBnAP_uo

The temple complex of Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah is filled with corridors and hallways, and the reason why is to go around this stepwell. There’s only one entrance, a locked gate, and when I was by it the gatekeeper looked at me and with his head pointed inside it.#Nizamuddin #Delhi #islam #indiahttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000KYRb29FZnzU

Sometimes it can get a bit crowded in there, and when you’re the only foreigner you eventually end up getting noticed. Not that I wanted to be entirely unnoticed.#Nizamuddin #Delhi #islam #india #street joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…

Being in India in the monsoon season means you must be ready for the occasional downpour. When that happens you either accept you’ll get soaking wet or run to take cover in the first place you find. Here the arches of Hazrat Nisamudin’s mausoleum provided that cover, to me and everyone else there.#Nizamuddin #Delhi #islam #india #street #monsoonhttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000sh0N1xSZio4

In some Sikh temples saying that water is a central element is to be taken literally, as they’re built around it.#travel #india #delhi #sikhismhttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000s.NSZ6nX4Dg

Surprisingly Hinduism took a small part in the religions that were on my path in India on my last trip. One of the culprits is Sikhism, like here at Delhi’s main temple, but mostly later on in the holy city of Amritsar.#travel #sikhism #people #delhi #indiahttps://joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I0000YA2zYExywUc

Wudu is the procedure of washing the body, for purification, before prayer. It wasn’t prayer time, and no one was performing ablution, this student only came here to refill his water mug.   #travel #islam #india #delhi joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…
