Where in the World (488)

Answer to edition 487

The architecture would suggest the building is probably from the Indian subcontinent. The lack of minarets rules out it being a mosque and more likely to being a Mogul Palace.

It is in fact the Jal Mahal or Water Palace and is found in the city of Jaipur, India

Congratulations to those who identified the distorted city from Where in the World (488) as Jaipur: Tim (@timofnewbury), Claudia (@crevilla_), Atul (@pixodentist) and Jackie (@jackiesjourneys)

This week's "Where in the World..."

In this week’s “Where in the World…” there is only a single but iconic building that once identified will give you a major clue to the city. Some would argue it is what the building overlooks that is more iconic. Either one would identify the city but the building is featured more in the distorted image.
