FINAL THOUGHTS
I’m sure you have figured out that I do enjoy a bit of architecture, and the Taj Mahal was as close to perfect as I have seen. I would almost say I felt honored to walk around and explore it from every angle, taking photographs of the Taj Mahal from sunrise to sunset! If anyone is considering going to India, then it should go straight to the top of their “to-do list.”
