The Taj Mahal
No it is not overrated. It is simply the most glorious building on earth. My my digital camera, which is also a video camera, I couldn't get any closer to the Taj Mahal. I had to leave my video camera at the desk. (Please go to my Nikon Day 6 stills to see the Taj up close.) For the most part I you will just need to search for history on your own, but here is a 10 second primer:
The Taj Mahal was built over 20 years by Shah Jahan, the great Mughal ruler, as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz, who died bearing their 16th child. Craftsmen from all over the world were brought into work on the beautiful white marble. I spent hours staring at it as the sun moved.
