Occasionally, while traveling, you will visit a place and see something that takes your breath away - the Taj Mahal is one of those places.
Beautiful and awesome were the two best words that I uttered when I first gazed upon this gem of a building.
Of course this is one of those "must-do" places to visit in all of India, but be very mindful of the crushing number of people that want to do the same thing. Although the beauty of the monument shines through,
I felt very oppressed by the throngs of people pushing and shoving as you walk through the main entrance gate and around the main building. The Taj has a very good official site giving all the necessary info on the history and building of the Taj here.
