devittles: The crowd. We thought this was a crowd. we arrived around 9am. when we left around noon or 1pm we saw what a crowd really was. HOLY WOW! If you visit the Taj, I can't recommend early arrival enough. We walked right in and had a really great day.

devittles: paparazzi.

devittles: More of the entrance.
devittles: Bman. Tired but ready for more.
devittles: This fort was also a palace that housed thousands of people.
devittles: The architecture of this place killed me.
devittles: love.
devittles: Every detail of this place was gorgeous. well, except this one dingy stairwell that smelled like it had been turned into a men's room. everything else though. ;)
