In the gorgeous Mughal gardens of Agra at Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh in northern India

 “The Taj Mahal rises above the banks of the river like a solitary tear suspended on the cheek of time.” -– Rabindranath Tagore

(in gorgeous Mughal gardens in the Taj Ganj district of Agra (often called Taj Mahal city), a historic metropolis on the of Uttar Pradesh in northern India).
There are few sights in the world as iconic as the Taj Mahal. Located in the city of Agra, the grandeur of this magnificent monument is equaled only by the tragedy of its backstory -– the tomb of a royal bride, created by a mourning emperor, who ended his days robbed of his empire, imprisoned in a gilded cell with a view of this beautiful, tragic mausoleum.

+ As the single most famous sight in the subcontinent, the Taj is a must-see on most India itineraries, particularly for travelers on the famous Golden Triangle circuit, linking Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. However, the Taj is mobbed daily by sightseers from across India and worldwide, so get used to sharing the experience.
