“Falling Fables” by artist Reena Saini Kallat, part of a series of works whose title references architectural ruins that are disintegrating and in a state of collapse.

Sorry, dawn, but I found the captions under "maximum India" pics terrible. They did not touch the essentials of the displays. It fells that Pakistani Nationalism won over fair description of things Indian. When it's "Maximum Pakistan", what will you expect from National Indian media?
