The Equisite Taj Mahal

I finally made it to the Taj Mahal, the iconic image of India. While I still think there are more impressive sights to see, it is still a beautiful place. I happened to be there on "free" day, so everyone and their extended family were there which made for some fantastic people watching!

Entrance to the main courtyard-

Crowds galore! Definitely lots of bright colored saris everywhere. The line itself to see the main mausoleum wrapped around.

The Princess Diana bench and platform where she posed as well as Bill Clinton and Jacqueline Kennedy, remains a popular site to pose as well.
