PinGGG!........................
Hindus competing with Muslims. Now let’s see who destroys the other’s monument first.
I gaze at that monument of ineffable beauty and I’m thinking...condos.
Because imitation is flattery.
I must admit I prefer the Taj Mahal for its simplicity of design. This new one is just much too busy.
Anyone remember the name of the palace in Disney's Aladdin? Agrabah.
I still wonder how stone was carved into statues, columns and other things hundreds of years ago.
I wasn’t familiar with Agra culture.😉
Here is one of my favorite songs by Taj Mahal. Enjoy.
Note: the Blues Brothers sang it, too, written by Taj Mahal.

“The “Katy” (KT) is the nickname for the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT). The railroad merged with the Missouri Pacific in 1988 and is now part of the Union Pacific.”
Jeez, I can smell it right through the picture. I have photos but the stink is all I remember about my trip to Agra and India in general. Was there for work so not my $$$. Screw India.
Why is it drawing ‘hordes of spiritually inclined tourists’?
