Anyone know 24a?

[muscroft]

Pretty sure it's Yemen

[relish40]

no its rajasthan India

[heathb00]

Has anyone one actually seen 24A with their own eyes and got photographic evidence that the building is in Rajesthan? The style is 'Islamic' but seems to us (after a heavy session in the city library looking at architecture and building styles books) to be more akin to the geometric designs of North Africa than the more flowing patterns seen in Mogul architecture of N India. The building could be quite modern, there's a drainpipe to the right. What is annoying is that whilst the other two are examples of types of dwelling, 24A could well be a one off design.

I have to agree that the architecture is not from Rajasthan...Has to be Morocco, Tunisia or Yemen - we have to find a photograph on the net to confirm this - can someone confirm 14d, 17c and 32b for me?

[Murmeli]

Same as answers above - I have been to Rajasthan and I have NOT seen any building similar to the one on 24A - and research in three libraries did NOT give any conclusions that it could be Yemen either - so is it really "one of a kind" ?

[sandielenton]

I think that it is Morocco but cannot find confirmation
