India Trip 2015 - Day 2 Taj Mahal

Our Day 2 of exploring India~ We board a private car heading to the train station~
A pleasant 2 hrs ride to Arga! First class ride experience with a/c & adjustable seats & breakfast!
Met our guide and off we go to Taj Mahal. Before the trip, my only knowledge was 7 wonders of the world. In this trip, i get to know about the love story
behind this amazing structure. 
Some facts to share:
1) The main gateway of the Taj Mahal is 100 feet high and is built in red sandstone.
2) The Taj took 22 years to build. It was Shah Jahan (emperor) whom expressed his love for Mumtaz Mahal (third wife). 
3) White marble representing purity & love.
After Taj, we head for lunchie & to Arga Fort another tourist attraction in Arga.
Lastly the Baby Taj. Which was build before Taj Mahal. For more reading (http://www.livingthedreamrtw.com/2013/12/appreciating-agras-lesser-visited.html)
