At least the smallest part of my trip to New Delhiri for Agra, India -India, or this week’s annual meeting of IATA is an intense place. It smells noise and smell. A few steps, the glorious scent of the curry, the smell of sweat after a few steps. Garbage too.
The horns are constantly blinking. Pedestrians, cars, motorcycles, lumps, handmade carts that carry goods, and even goats sometimes come from all directions. Often in the central part, there are people of people. And there is always a fever in early June.

However, most of the walls of the Taj Mahal Compound are calm.
When I arrived in India, I did not plan to travel for about three hours from New Delhi to Agra to see this symbolic monument. But at the IATA meeting, my fellow reporter told me that I had to do it. He will be a long day, but I will cherish it. Therefore, after being hurt, I booked the last tour with Trip Advisor’s Viator Network. I paid less than $ 100 for Agra and a personal round trip and paid less than $ 100 to show the TAJ Mahal and other Agra sites, especially Agra Fort. About $ 13’s TAJ MAAL admission fee was not included.
In short, Tajahal was magnificent. We all know this in the picture. And at noon, it was personally special as I imagined. When the horizontal lights are the most noticeable against thousands of rings in the white and crystal Marido, I heard that it is even more so when you play the most noticeable opposition.

As I learned in Suraj, the guide, it is especially important for the light of other places during the demonstration of local artisan marble works. Near the entrance of the mausoleum, Saraj carefully examined the details of the jewelry in the flower patten. Sometimes small stone cuts fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Workers are doing this attentive to repair and maintain almost 400 -year -old monuments, and this monument commissioned to accept the remains of his favorite wife, MUMTAZ Mahal, and eventually kept his ruins.
Surrounded by the 42 -acre wall, the TAJ Mahal complex was busy while visiting Wednesday afternoon, but not too crowded. Surprisingly, there were few tourists in the West or East Asian. It was a happy revelation. It is Rare to visit me with a symbolic charm these days.
As for me, I made a rare decision that day. I usually disgust to pose for painting. Even an exotic trip has a few shots. But with Suraj’s encouragement, I hired a local photographer right outside the entrance of TAJ Mahal compound for a short photo shoot.
On the long drive back to Delhi that evening, I looked at prints and digital photos. Even Corni, who looks like my finger, made me laugh to reach the top of Mahal Dome. I think it’s because I know it’s lucky. I was lucky to make it in this magnificent and unusual building.
