At sunrise, I visited the most beautiful man-made structure in all of its glory. Arriving at the Taj Mahal at 5:30 a.m. was incredible. At first glimpse of the Taj, my eyes start to moisten because of the pure beauty that is and behind the meaning of the mausoleum. Many do not know, and I myself included until today, that the Taj Mahal is a mausoleum for the former king's wife. After bearing him many children, 14 to be exact, she died in childbirth as her husband promised to build her a structure so exquisite that it would never be surpassed by any other man-made figure. It is made entirely of marble with hints of color that are actually semi-precious stones, not paint.
As you approach the entrance of the Taj, you can see the middle of the structure waiting for you to share its enormous amount of energy. Walk even closer and the entire temple is exposed, leaving you to wonder, "Is this real?" It's beauty is so immense, so uncapturable, I hope these pictures do it some justice. Sunrise illuminated the Taj so that beams bounded off the marble, picking up hints of gold, yellow, pink and even the purest of whites.
Inspiration. Immeasurable beauty. A new perspective.
Enjoy.

So breathtaking. I liked your yoga pose in front of the Taj.
It was an amazing experience. Cancelled out the scary train ride into Delhi! Love you, miss you!
I, too, thought the Taj Mahal was the king's palace. Had no idea it was a mausaoleum. Looks so beautiful. I wonder how much money it cost to build with all of the inlayed precious stones? One of the wonders of the world.
