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.
