gwalior - the institutional square and the markets


on the edge of the inner city where the older fabric is suddenly opened out with the insertion of a plaza of colonial buildings – the post office, the banks. their audacity in commanding the plaza has completely disintegrated. the city crumbles around and into them. in alleys leading away from the plaza sudden fragments of the most exquisite details emerge. as we walk the daylight fades and at night the city becomes even more unreal. men huddle over bonfires in the darkness away from the harsh tubelights of the markets and the buildings stand silhouetted darker than the night sky.
