When we stepped into Agra, my first thought was "YUCK", seriously if not for the majestic TAJ the city is very poorly maintained. The journey from Delhi to Agra through the Yamuna Expressway was the most beautiful journey which kept me wondering is this India...
But when I same the Taj for the first time on the way to the hotel, i felt so bad... the seventh wonder of the world, Symbol of love, the Mughal epic was standing in between the trench and pollution in all forms(air,water and soil) surrounding it.
Peace came to me when I stepped into the Great Gate, from there the place was maintained well and then came the Wow factor one by one....
Everything in the Taj is built Symmetrical, except for the king's tomb... it is said that the king placed another Taj with Black marble symmetrically opposite to the white one... What a feast it would have been if Aurangzeb would have had the same vision...
