Moonlit Madness ...

The Taj Mahal, known worldwide for being a part of the 7 wonders, is indeed a sight that leaves you feeling overawed! I visited this monument for the first time last week ... and I just had to pen down my thoughts on it.

A majority of visitors see the Taj during the afternoon, when the sun is at its peak and the marble structure sparkles away. This however does not present the Taj at its best.

I was fortunate enough to revisit the place at 7.30 in the evening, and that too on a moonlit night (close to full moon). At 8.00, the light in the background fades away and the moonlight starts reflecting off the marble ... the site is ... well, it can't be put into words ... you just have to see it for yourself ...

Its like some unearthly vision out of Xanadu ... Kubla Khan's palace ... something magical ...
