Agra and Fatehpur Sikri

The tomb of Itimad Ud Daulah (simply renamed, "Baby Taj") 


Intricate marble work inside


A cool oasis from the scorching 45 degrees outside


Very quiet respite from the hordes at Taj Mahal


Agra Fort


The Palace


The surrounding pillars


Main courtyard


Look mom, I made it!


Adjacent Masjid Mosque


Taj Mahal


You have to use your elbows a bit to get this picture at dusk


Sunset on Masjid


A beautiful backdrop


Fatehpur Sikir; built to replace the palace in Agra, but then abandoned


Jama Masjid (by main courtyard) 


Security


Anup Talao used for concerts


Panch Mahal and the surrounding gardens


Diwan-i-Khas, the private hall


The pillars inside


Making Bikaneri Bhujia (deep fried lentil paste, mmm) 


View from one of the many rooftop restaurants in Taj Gang (the main strip)
