The weird otherworld of Indian graffiti

India has some very interesting street art.

Sometimes strange and bizarre with religious themes, sometimes ultra modern, but always beautiful just like the rest of India.

This is from a wall on the banks of the Ganges, during some times the steps will be covered with colorful assortments of drying clothes.

Artists from all over the world come to india to paint murals and do street art.

Ornate, hand carved doors and windows

Beautiful wooden doors and windows of India

All images were taken in various cities in India by Peter Mammes.

The doors and windows are from cities including Varanasi, Jodpur, Jaipur, Bikaner.

These wooden doors and windows are perhaps more than 200 years old.

India has a very characteristic style of carving doors and windows, every region in India has a unique feel and look to it that is culturally distinct. Most of the images on this page are of hand carved doors and windows.
