Why I like old #Paintings is that they show what it was like in those days & how it changed over the years
For example, this c1815 CE #IndianMiniaturePainting now at #Museum of #Islamic #Art at #Doha #Qatar of the 'Mehrauli Darshan' during the #DelhiRains shows the River #Yamuna flowing in the background #Delhi
Presently, this river (now a stream) is miles away
Fortunately, the complex survives still
