The Awesome Taj Mahal.

The most incredible sight in India. When I first saw the Taj, I cried, it was so beautiful. You will enjoy the gardens on the grounds and the reflecting pool, especially on the full moon.

 
After the Taj Mahal was complete, the prince declared that the king was mad for spending all the wealth of the kingdom to build it. This is the prison that the king was sent to by his son. It overlooks the Taj Mahal, just across the river.
 
There are many fine gardens surrounding the grounds of the Taj Mahal. It is very peaceful to sit in the gardens and feel the wind breezing by.
 
The Taj Mahal is in Agra. It is a day trip from the Kumbh mela grounds. I was very touched when I first saw the real scale and beauty of the place. It's a must see even for spiritual seekers.
