Okay! The picture in the last post is the Naqqarkhana [resthouse] that flanks the Taj at the right, according to the Islamic architecture. And the next few posts are going to be dedicated to the great specimen of architecture, that is The Taj!
I might be committing a grave sacrilege, but the fact is that the Taj does not inspire me as a monument to love. However, in beauty, grandeur, architecture and engineering, I find it an unparalleled marvel. The white marble structure stands imposing in the lush green lawns. And though I have seen it a few times, on each visit, the first sight does not fail to strike an awe. For those who might not have actually visited the Taj, the pictures must look magnificent; but believe me, it is an experience worth all the trouble and hassle to visit it in person. The sight is such that cannot be described in words, on in any number of pictures!
