Truly Magnificent Taj Mahal






We were fortunate to be booked at a hotel that is just a short walk to the Taj Mahal.  This allowed us to be at the Taj at opening time of 6am.  There were not too many people and  it was a cool and nice morning minus the hot Indian sun which enabled us  to truly enjoy and appreciate the magnificent Taj Majal.

The Taj Mahal is actually a mausoleum of white marble built by an emperor in memory of his beloved wife. It is well preserved including the surrounding gardens.  The Taj stands proud as a masterpiece of Indian architecture and deserves to be one of the great world heritage sites.

We lingered in this awe inspiring monument to savor its beauty and its surroundings which includes  reflecting pools, other beautiful buildings, and extensive gardens.  The Taj Mahal was a fitting climax to my visit to India.
