Taj Mahal 3, feb,2009. Agra- India

TAJ MAHAL, 3/FEB./2009 PLAN YOUR TRIP TO TAJ MAHAL WHEN IT IS FULL MOON, BCZ THEY OPEN IT TO PUBLIC AT NIGHT

On the way to TAJ MAHAL, don’t ask me about the names of these places, I don’t know, we only passed by

ONLY GREEN FIELDS, I EXPECTED TO SEE FLOWERS, BUT NO, NOT BETWEEN DELHI AND AGRA

FINALLY AGRA CITY, 200KM AWAY FROM DELHI,400 KM TOOK US 8 HOURS DRIVE

The fun part is when I saw the cow walking confidently on the streets of Agra, spreading its blessing all around . When I managed to take a photo, it turned out to be an ox.

The scary part about this trip is the way the driver was driving. Horns and sudden breaks are the common characteristics of driving on the highway.

THE AMAZING PART ISTAJ MAHAL, The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the

finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."

CHANGES ITS COLOR The Taj Mahal is situated more than 900 ft. (275 m.) away from the entrance

at the opposite end of the garden. The path is divided by a long watercourse in which the Taj is beautifully reflected.  The dome is made of white marble, but the tomb is set against the plain across the river and it is this background that works its magic of colours that, through their reflection, change the view of the Taj. The colours change at different hours of the day and during different seasons. Like a jewel, the Taj sparkles in moonlight when the semi-precious stones inlaid into the white marble on the main mausoleum catch the glow of the moon. The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the sun sets. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of woman.
