Description
Since I was on official business in India, I extended my stay for the very worthwhile trip to one of the wonders of the World, The Taj Mahal.Located in Agra, about a 4 hour drive from the chaotic city of Delhi, I booked an excursion. To keep my sanity, I would never drive in and around Delhi for any amount of $.The Taj Mahal is a magical place with unique architecture made from white marble. As the sun rises and sets, the light spawns off the colors of the rainbow. Commissioned by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 14th child, it emits an aura of something special and important.The musician Yanni played his epic "Tribute" concert on the grounds, a perfect complement to enhance its beauty. It's on video by the way.Listen to my trip experience, which is also detailed in my book Asia Specific.Another item on my bucket list fulfilled. http://www.malcolmteasdale.com
