The Taj Mahal.

I was going to attempt to compose some words to describe the exhilaration of seeing the Taj Mahal, but I realized I’m not that good a writer; I would be unable to do it justice. A writer who attempted to do it justice, Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, described it as “a teardrop on the face of eternity.” It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th child in 1631.

Later, we also visited the Agra Fort, where I snapped a picture of Indian women in their colorful saris.
