21 Dec - Extended 1 day from my business trip to visit the Taj Mahal, which is a 3 hours drive away from Delhi. Initially wanted to catch the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, but with recommendations from the guide that driving at night is dangerous given the low visibility condition in winter, we delayed the set off time by 4 hours. Eventually, we reached the Taj around 10am in the morning.
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (r. 1628–1658) to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during the birth of her 14th child; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. Truly a wonder in its own right.
