Better known as the Jhalra natural water tank adjacent to the tomb of the 13th century Sufi Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti. Hundreds of thousands of people come here each year for the urs (the anniversary of the death) of a Sufi saint.
Quetta Fort

The Bund, Poona
Printed on the side is the message, most likely from a firm:

A General View. Tombs of Sultan Nizamuddin and Jahanara Begum.

"He is alone everliving and everlasting".
