Doors of India!

I found some of the doors very beautiful... even if old and neglected!!

Here is a selection..........

Old Portuguese doors..

 Spikes to keep the elephants out!!

 From an old Fort.........

And very ornate doors in a palace.................

 Lots of ivory then.........

 The doors and moldings were cut to match so that they fitted perfectly when closed........

 A temple door from the 10th century......

In an old Palace Fort which is now a luxury hotel, but where they have preserved the older parts and the doors........

 A village temple.........

Village doors......

And the village stores.........

And those no longer there..........

And, of course, the village school....
