Taj and Fatehpur Sikhri pictures.

Carved marble pieces on the Taj.
Melinda in front of the Taj.
Fatehpur Sikhri...entrance to the palace of Akbar. They abandoned this palace after 4 years because of a drought and lack of water.
Entrance to the mosque and holy man temple at Fatehpur Sikhri.
Tribute to the holy man that blessed Akbar with a son from his Hindu wife. This is the "wishing well."
The Taj as you walk through the inside gate.

Big picture.

The Taj is all about symmetry on the left is an identical structure that is a mosque and this was likely a guesthouse for visitors to the Taj.
Semiprecious stone inlay on the structure itself.
Margaret and myself in the gardens.
