No photos or words can adequately describe the Taj Mahal. I was sceptic at first but I almost cried when i saw the beauty and grandeur of this famous landmark. I felt the love and longing of the Mughal king for his beloved wife Mumtaz when she died. Oblivious to what Akmad, our Muslim-Indian guide, was saying. I took time taking photos to capture her beauty.
The postcard pictures of Taj Mahal does not adequately convey the legend, the poetry and the romance that shroud what Rabindranath Tagore calls "a teardrop on the cheek of time."
Nor the English poet, Edwin Arnold when he quoted, "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones" Its true, this building is a celebration of womanhood (according to an Indian 1994 Miss Universe,)
The Taj Majal looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing these images!
