Taj, Agra Fort, Art Marble Palace, moonlit garden

Our group of 8 from Santa Cruz



Agra Fort pavilion



Stone Pattern walkways




Sumptuous gardens with cockscomb perimeters



There is a view of the Taj from here, but so smoggy one can't see it.



Decorated ceilings


















Then on to the marble art palace, where the fine inlay work is done by hand.





Tiny pieces of malachite, lapis, carnelian, turquoise, and mother of pearl are all cut and shaped by hand.



Saris on their way to recycling






Sign outside the Moonlit garden
Saying no vulgar public display of affection-they decide what is vulgar!



The view of the Taj Mahal from the garden


Former lotus pond enclosure


I am endlessly fascinated by the methods for transporting goods
