Us at the Taj Mahal

The amazing Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal in India was built by a grief-stricken emperor Shah Jahan. His wife Mumtaz Mahal died in 1631 while giving birth to their 14th child. Construction of the Taj Mahal began one year later and it was built to be the final resting place of Mumtaz Mahal. Different types of marble from all over the world were used to build this mausoleum. Today, millions of people come from all over the world to visit this famous and beautifully designed Islamic tomb in Agra, a city in northern India.

This was a typical journey through INDIA ..DELHI-AGRA... its was sooo MAD MAD MAD!

When we arrived in Delhi we hired a driver as it was safer, his name was Cavalum. He drove us to Agra where the Taj mahal is located...

Bye BYe Kerala and on our way to Delhi, it took 4.5 hrs by plane.We were going to get a train which would have taken 2.5 days non stop. India is a big country ....

On the way to the airport we saw an elephant in the back of a truck on its way back from a Hindu festival.

Kovalum lighthouse

Light house beach is named after the 30 meter high Light house here which is the most important feature of this beach. The Light House is located towards the southern end of the beach and it's on a cape. There is an observation platform from which you can see Poovar in one direction and the famous Beemapalli mosque on the other. You can reach this platform by climbing a total of 142 steps.
