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
