India. Agra. Taj Mahal.

In Agra, I decided to get into avoiding public transport and car hire. From Delhi to Agra traveled about 4 hours. 
Road transport has been loaded, sometimes to failure ranging from motorcycles and carts to large trucks. Carrier has got a fairly advanced and we briskly made ​​the rounds of a cork on the left, then right on roadsides, saving time.

I got the impression that the chaotic traffic on the roads, each goes where he wants. In principle, it is true, our driver often went to the opposite line and still dissatisfied signaled that it does not pass, and when the police when he saw it, shouted something to him, he still snapped, but when we went forward, he was still more dissatisfied. There all the honking and constantly for no good reason, much like in our weddings. In spite of this chaos on the roads, accidents, I have not seen, even small ones, although the machine podryapanye.

The mausoleum was built for his beloved wife - the beautiful Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan who bore 13 children, and the 14th birth of the child did not survive.

The building began to build in about 1632, and when the building came to an end in 1653, the governor gave the order to proceed with the construction of the second building - the mausoleum for himself, a replica of the first, but in black marble. The mausoleum was to grow up on the opposite bank of the river Yamuna and to connect the bridge. In 1658, Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb overthrew him. He stopped the construction of a second mausoleum, and his father imprisoned for life in a tower in Agra. There and spent the remaining nine years, in the room from the window of which was seen the Taj Mahal.
