The twenty-one feet tall main door, Delhi Darwaza remains unshaken, unbattered and unaffected. Facing North, arbitarily towards Delhi, the seat of power wearing an armour of heavy metal spikes is a picture of strength. And has still stood its ground. But inside all that remians is a skeleton of what had once been the seat of power.
The birth of Shaniwar Wada as concieved by Bajirao Peshwa-I, was a double storeyed structure with two square courtyards on each side. Though bearing the countenace of a fort, Shaniwar Wada as we see it was not how it was built. The passage of time and seven Peshwas later moulded and remoulded structured and restructured to what it is today. At the zenith of its glory, sixty years later Shaniwar Wada assumed the form of a intricately assembled five storeyed structure, an archtectural marvel. The end was surprisingly sudden as the raging flames of fire crumbled it to dust….
Great point of view, that gate surely is BIG however the lower point of view is so great here to makes it looks EVEN BIGGER!!! Fantastic... Best regards!

An impressive ediface indeed! Some minor points though, the top right corner is a bit distracting and I would have liked to see more of the base of the door. Still nice angle here and good detail. Great work!
