Can't decide what I love more: This building or its backyard garden? .
.
In Bombay, open spaces that don't literally break you into a sweat, are a real blessing! The David Sassoon Library garden is one such beautiful, welcoming space. Tall trees with huge canopies are a natural acoustic barrier, cuts all noise from the busy road. And the garden has SWINGS!! Aur kya chahiye?

Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, #Agra, India! 🇮🇳
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (I'timād-ud-Daulah Maqbara) is a Mughal #mausoleum in the city of Agra in the Indian state of #UttarPradesh.
