Wednesday 20th February 2013 +5.5 hrs GMT: A Magical Stroll at the Taj Mahal ­ A Final Look Back

My visit can best be summed up by the following words:

“For every hour of the day and for every atmospheric condition the Taj has its own colour values, form the soft dreaminess at dawn, and the dazzling whiteness at midday to its cold splendour in the moonlight.  Yet none of these effects can equal those few fleeting moments when, softly illuminated by the brief Indian after glow, it assumes the enchanting tint of some pale and lively rose.”

(Taj Mahal: Incredible Symbol of Beauty. Dahn Raj Aswani Shree

I came away feeling refreshed, you can feel the love in this building – it is exquisite in every way.  They say that if you thought the Taj was goo then Petra will ’blow your mind’.  Well Petra is coming up on the cruise so we will see but it was an emotional and very spiritual visit this afternoon for me.
