India, Uttar Pradesh, Agra, Taj Mahal and brick building
The chaos within asks for a perfect shot but perhaps nothing can ever capture the beauty of the #Taj There are certain spots in Taj Mahal that can give you a clear and near-perfect shot but, needless to say, they are occupied by dozens of travellers like us. I could hardly get to any one of them. Now, going through these memories from a month earlier, I find that every shot from every spot had a different view and a different story to tell and I only hoped to do justice to that picture. 🙃 #tajmahal #agra #canonshots #travel #sassilysolo #travellingwithfriends #uttarpradesh #dramaticsky #unescoheritage #wondersoftheworld

Random plans and random clicks… One of the reasons I love Delhi is because there is so much to do and see around that I couldn’t ever get bored. It was my second trip to Agra and I am already thinking of taking another one. Agra is home to a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the seven wonders of the world, Taj Mahal, a mausoleum and a major factor in luring tourists from around the globe. Yes, it was filled to the brim during my visit but a few minutes inside were enough to stun me!! #tajmahal #agra #india #travel #sassilysolo #uttarpradesh #travellingwithfriends #randomshots #canonshots #skyline

Built in AD 1571, the Jami Mosque at Fatehpur Sikri marks the phase of transition in Islamic art as the indigenous architectural elements were blended with the Persian architecture. This photograph is of the niche in the wall of the mosque towards which the congregation faces to pray and what is known as the mihrab. Adorned with inlaid mosaic of stones that are bordered by glazed tiles and golden inscriptions on royal blue background, the stunning structure has been taken over by natural elements and several bee hives can be seen arching into walls. #StunningStructures #architecture #natureoverman
