The Taj Mahal is a must-see attraction in India, praised by the poet Tagore as "an eternal teardrop". Completed in 1654, the Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for Queen Ajman Banu at a huge cost. This palatial mausoleum is mainly constructed of pure white marble, inlaid with precious stones from all over the world. The Taj Mahal also has a completely symmetrical architectural aesthetic, combining Indian and Persian architectural art. The entire building complex includes the vestibule, the main entrance, the main body of the mausoleum and other attractions. You can enter the vestibule from the west, east and south entrances, and then enter from the main entrance. There is a marble pool in the middle called Hawdal-Kawthar (meaning "Pool of Abundance"), and the reflection of the Taj Mahal in the water is clearly visible. There is a bench next to the pool that attracts many tourists to sit and take pictures. This is where Princess Diana took pictures when she visited the Taj Mahal. At the end of the pool, on the raised marble platform is the Taj Mahal. There is a tower at each corner of the mausoleum. The main body of the mausoleum is octagonal, with a large hemispherical dome in the middle, decorated with lotus flowers, and four small circles around it. top. The walls on both sides of the entrance to the main tomb are engraved with the Book of Songs, and when you enter the interior, you can see two sarcophagi, one large and one small, but Shah Jahan and the queen are buried in another underground crypt. The interior of the mausoleum is illuminated only by the sunlight that penetrates from the outside, and photography is not allowed here. There is a monastery on the east and west sides of the main mausoleum, the west one is used for praying and kneeling, and the east one is mainly for maintaining symmetry. In different time and light, the Taj Mahal has different appearances. It is warm golden-orange in the early morning, white in the sun, and gradually turns from gold to pink and dark red at dusk, and turns silvery white again at the beginning of the moon. In the corner of the temples on both sides, you can take pictures of the Taj Mahal seen through the arcade, which is also interesting.Agra · 63.1 km from Dhaulpur

Hawa Mahal
Hawa Mahal was commissioned by the Maharaja of Jaipur and is part of the City Palace complex, extending into the royal women's quarters. It stands along the main road of the old city's commercial district, with a five-story pink sandstone facade that resembles a massive wall, densely packed with 953 honeycomb-shaped latticed windows. These windows served more than just an aesthetic purpose. In the past, royal women were not permitted to appear in public according to custom, so the designer used dense latticework to allow them to overlook the festivals and daily life on the streets without being seen by those outside. The latticework also created a cross-breeze. During the hot season, wind flowed through the front and back windows, cooling the interior, which is how the name Hawa Mahal came to be. The window wall is the back of the palace. The entrance is around the back, through the gate leading to the City Palace side. Upon entering, you first find an inner courtyard, which houses a small archaeological museum. The floors are connected by ramps, and several rooms with stained glass are filled with color when sunlight streams in. Climbing to the top floor and looking out from the small windows, you can take in the old city streets and the nearby City Palace andJantar Mantar in one view.India · Jaipur

New Delhi, India is a historical city. There are many traces of history in this city. Many urban areas are relatively poor. You can see some of the local people’s lifestyles here. The huge area of the slums is also terrifying.

The Victory Gate, a traditional red brick structure, is a must-see upon entering Agra. It's Asia's largest and tallest city gate and one of India's most iconic structures. Admire this magnificent gate and take some photos.

In early February, we visited Agra Fort in the afternoon, dedicating about an hour to explore this historic site. Accompanied by a private guide, we delved into the fort's rich history, which we found both captivating and informative. Navigating the fort was straightforward, though it was quite crowded during our visit. The architecture and design were impressive; however, it's worth noting that a significant portion of the fort is closed to the public, as it is currently utilized by the Indian Army. This limitation restricted access to many areas, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, we would rate our experience 4 out of 5 stars.

An incredible experience to see such a magical wonder of architectural design. The colours, the shapes of the windows, it was so stunning! I had never seen anything of such beauty before.
