MILKY WHITE MEMORIAL OF LOVE :- THE TAJ MAHAL

As many times as you would have seen this building in pictures, but the magnificence that you experience when you are around this building is just incomparable.

One beautiful evening when some random clouds decided to come over way right before the sunset, and we happened to be marvelling at the beauty of this white wonder. As many time as I may try, it never ceases to amaze me.

Preks of reaching Taj Mahal before sunrise.
Even at this hour, the east gate had a pretty long line. People had been waiting for an hour for the gates to open and it was still half an hour to sunrise. But funny enough, there were separate lines for Indians and foreigners. Indian were not more than 10 in against some 300-400 people in the for foreigners. Those guys had paid 25x more amount than us, they probably knew the value of their tickets pretty well.
We were happy to be amongst the first one to enter the monument. All the views, as if privately arranged for us.

One of the most interesting shots we did in the Taj complex. As you know, taking a tripod inside the complex isn't allowed without special permission. This one is the first point where you get to see the main tomb in its full glory. A lot of people stop here to click cliched picture of the momuent, guides and escort would stop and give long lectures of history.

The last visit to Agra was all about marvelling at the Taj for different angles. And not just Taj but the places around the main complex as well.
Thanks mosque that is situated on the Western side of Taj Mahal, houses three chambers, each of which are beautifully decorated. The special things happens when the sun out of shade and fills the place with bright lights, and redstone colour reflects this light to create a golden glow all around.

When we met this couple from halfway across the world, we didn't know that we would make such a great connect. The had just arrived in Agra, freshly being recipient of an airport taxi scam.

After a couple of hours of exchanging countless stories, we decided to meet again in evening to the Taj from a place that we had spotted on the earlier evening. And what a beautiful sunset it was!

We met again the next day, and then again. Though they were coming from a different land that spoke a different language, we never felt we had just known them for a day. And that's how new friendship are forged when you travel. It's not just about visiting new places, it's equally about forming new memories with new friends.

I thought this would be a good way to say we would miss you.

As the sun rises from the east, warming up the surroundings, the palace of love shines equally bright. The river flowing adjacent to the palace takes a lazy turn, sharing the morning charm through the colours it absorbed from the sky.

A bird the sky fly's across the river while all of this happens
