There are no words to aptly
describe the beauty of
Taj
Mahal. To me, like to the millions across the world, it means romance,
beauty and love. It is one of the best architectural masterpieces we have.
If you have never been there,
bring it up on your ‘must-visit’ places because you actually must! And if you
have, let us take a ride down the marble wonder, again.
Here are a few of my favorites
from my last 3 trips to the monument.

| Gate leading to the Taj Mahal |
 |
| This magical sight takes my breath away. Every single time. |
 |
| This magnificence awaits you when you cross that gate |

Hope you enjoyed this picture journey to Taj Mahal!
See you all tomorrow!

Enjoyed the trip very much, such beauty in a building.
ReplyDeleteMy father was stationed in India in the war, sadly he died when I was three so was unable to hear any stories he had to tell.

ReplyDeletesigh, have yet to make this trip.................sob sob sob....this year....god willing
ReplyDeleteI had said so much about Taj Mahal to my kids. But, when we actually visited Taj, they were disappointed. What's so great about it? There are many beautiful architectural buildings like these. They are not romantics like us. But, I get butterflies in my stomach to watch Taj up close.
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed :)
ReplyDeleteI visited twice and my initial topic was tajmahal but I already wroote long back hence refrained
