Walk Through the Pols

 

This is one of the birdfeeders that we saw on the walk.  Like many others it is quite an elaborate construction.  This one was built on 1808.

The interior courtyard of a Haveli, a multi-occupancy house, where a number of families, usually related will live.  This property had over forty rooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some narrow stairs within the Haveli.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Within the entrance of the Haveli was this old American water pump to draw water from a well.  This has now been superceded by a mains supply.
