The beauty and tranquilty of the Baby Taj - Itimad-ud-Daulah's tomb.


Four kilometres upstream on the East side of the Yamuna river lies the magnificent 'Baby Taj'. Made completely from marble, and inlaid stonework. A must to visit if in Agra, and a place to escape from the noise of the the city, and the crowds at the Taj Mahl.
Truly beautiful!

Also for those who do not wish to pay the exhorbient entry fee to visit the Taj Mahl; the East side of the Yamuna river provides a wonderful view of the Taj across the river. It is here that visitors come to in the evening to take photos of the sunset.

Our biycle rickshaw driver, who had seen better days allowed me to ride his rickshaw, much to the amusement of the viwing public. Though I guess a little embarrasing for him.
So the day started, let's say not too well, and the afternoon made up for it.
