Hi All!
We are currently in
Jaipur or the 'Pink City' which is it popularly known. Jaipur is the
capital of Rajasthan which is located in the north of India. We
arrived here at 9:30am this morning after five hour journey from
'Agra Fort Station'. So far in Jaipur we only managed to see some of
the city center where we walked around to get familiure and do a bit
of shopping. Will keep you updated on the going on's in Jaipur over
the next few days..
Yesterday we visited
The Taj Mahal which is located in Agra. The building is not short of
spectacular and very beautiful.
It was built by the
Emperor Shan Jahan as the final request place of his favourite queen,
Mumtaz Mahal. A monument of marble, some say it is most fascinating
and beautiful monument in the world. The Taj Mahal was built by a
Persian architect is perfectly symmetrical, it took 22 years to build
(AD 1630 – 52) by 20,000 workers, masons and jewellers (Times if
India, 2007)
