Visiting The Taj Mahal

Taking golf carts from our hotel to the narby Taj Mahal in the early morning, before sunrise, is the custom in Agra. We waited with a large throng of tourists from many countries. The Taj is beautiful from any angle, and the monument built by Shah Jehan for his favorite wife, whose tomb, like his own, rests under the magnificent dome. Two additional square pavillions located on either side of the main monument emphasize the overall symmetry of the site. - Dan
