If you have read everything about Taj Mahal, you'll probably know atleast three things. Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful and suggestive attraction on this earth, it is the ultimate monument of Love ever built 'the living legacy' and there is no other monument that lies in comparison with the architecture of Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal wonder of the world is among seven wonders of the world. To be included as one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal has to be something amazing and on our drive into Agra (the town the Taj is located) I wasn’t sure what to expect. The fine detail on all the buildings and sites in India, that we had seen so far, were exceptional so I wasn’t sure how the Taj was going to exceed that.
This seven wonders of the world is is located in agra. Agra is approximately 3 hours from Delhi, however our driver was a little slow so it took us around 4 and a half to get to there. We started our journey at 6am, and while the roads are quieter than usual, this is the time you can really understand the caste system in India. During the first two days I didn’t think the poverty was too bad, however on this morning we were able to see that most of the Rickshaw drivers are homeless. During the day they are working so I never realised they were all sleeping under their rickshaws at night, until we drove past them at 6am. Its interesting to see that even these people who don’t have homes or anything other than their rickshaws, are always happy and are always smiling and willing to help you. This place definitely makes you think about things very differently.
