Same Same, But Different
After getting my fill of requisite Taj Mahal sunrise watching, I spent at least as much time crowd watching. It's one of the most heavily visited monuments in Asia, everyone takes their turn at posing with eternal beauty.
About this place:
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles.
While the white domed marble mausoleum is most familiar, Taj Mahal is an integrated complex of structures and was completed around 1648. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri is generally considered as the principal designer of Taj Mahal.
