Description

Carvings of the deities Hanuman, Ram, and Lakshma decorate the walls of the jail cell within Golconda Fort, in Hyderabad, India.

The figures were carved on the jail wall by an inmate named Kanchanna Gopanna (aka. Ramada). Just looking at the carvings, I'd say he was there for some time.

He was imprisoned for overspending his budget on a project he was assigned by Shah Abdul Hasan Tanah. At my job, I've seen many project managers exceed their budget but I've never heard of a penalty this harsh!

Hindus regard this as a holy place, and you must remove your shoes before you may approach this wall. The orange coloring marks it as a place of worship.
