There is another Taj Mahal in India? Ahem, yes. And, ahem, no :)

Ok, first the original, which is at Agra:

And now the second one, which is at Aurangabad:

The original is the "real McCoy" ... there is the Taj, and then there is everything else ...

Photo of the day: at the Taj Mahal

A couple steps more and it is the Taj Mahal.  And here was this person clad in a highly orthodox and religious Hindu outfit, as a tourist (?) going to see the what is essentially mausoleum/tombs of Muslims.  Isn't it how it is all supposed to be--we go around and try to appreciate and understand life that is different from what we might be used to?  A wonderful juxtaposition that I enjoyed noting at the Taj.

Oh, yeah, I was at the Taj Mahal :)
