Inside TheTaj Mahal

Agra, India
One of the Seven Wonders of the World (according to Collier’s Encyclopedia). This is an amazing piece of architecture! But at the end of the day, it’s not extremely functional (at least today, anyway). It’s just a Tomb…a very large, beautiful, magnificent, expensive (in the terms of the day) Tomb. When it was built in 1648 it cost a whopping 320 lakhs (or 32 million rupees which is about $640,000). Absolutely AMAZING what could be done with less than a million dollars
