  4. Since 3rd December, I've received the following postcards on the the_conqueror_challenges Golden Triangle virtual challenge: Truck Art & Mughal Architecture. I've also now completed 20% of the challenge.

    "As India’s economy grows, trucks play a crucial role in transporting goods all over the country. Drivers spend weeks and sometimes months on the road, making the truck their home. Here they cook, eat, sleep and sometimes share the space with co-drivers. To make their nomadic life more palatable, drivers paint their trucks inside and out. No two trucks are the same. The artwork is very personal and a reflection of the driver’s personality, tastes, beliefs, values and often a reminder of home and their families."

    "The magnificent Mughal architecture is attributed mainly to four successive Mughal emperors: Akbar (3rd emperor), Jahangir (4th emperor), Shah Jahan (5th emperor) and Aurangzeb (6th emperor). Vast forts, mosques and mausoleums were built within a century and even though the Mughal empire existed for 330 years and had as many as 20 emperors, very little was built after Aurangzeb. The vision of these few men left a richly detailed legacy in monuments such as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort and Agra Fort."
