Probably somewhere near the top of a lot of peoples lists of sites they can see in the world, the Taj Mahal will be in the top ten. 

This grand palace built by Shah Jahan for his wife during the Mugal Empire rule is one of the modern day seven wonders of the world.  The whole structure is geometrically equal on all sides as everything from the smallest stone, to the biggest piece of marble is finely crafted as it took years to build. 

I was happy to finally get here and see it without much of a huge crowd as I was able to snap some pretty good pictures with hardly any people getting in the way.  Pictures are worth a thousand words…..

Other sites of interest around Agra is the Red Fort which is magnificent in its own mind and should always be visited when traveling to Agra, along with the Baby Taj Mahal which is a small size copy of the Taj Mahal without all the people, and of course the tomb of Akbar the Great who was the most well known ruler of his time and brought prosperity into India…….
