When you think of India, what comes to mind is probably the Taj Mahal. , everyone will know it well by looking at the photos at least once. This tomb was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 15th child, and completed in 653. the most beautiful architecture in the world But it would be bittersweet to hear that it was made with a lot of money and people's sacrifice.

Agra Agra is the city of the Taj Mahal itself. Besides the Taj Mahal, the Red Castle and other historical sites are nearby, but nothing caught my eye. In addition, strange rumors surrounding Agra were spreading, and there were many tourists leaving immediately after seeing the Taj Mahal. It was said that lodging and catering businesses and local doctors, which are less successful than other regions, are secretly consuming the food of tourists by joining hands. The person who ate the food complained of pain and went to a nearby hospital, but returning it was that the cost was wasted while slowly recuperating at a hospital-affiliated lodging instead of expensive medicine and hospitalization. What if that target is me? I hate to imagine These rumors about Agra have already become quite a topic of discussion among travelers from the time they traveled to Jaisalmer. Because of these rumors, after visiting only the Taj Mahal, I was planning to open Agra right away in the evening. First, we succeeded in booking a bus bound for Jodhpur-Agra and a train bound for Agra-Varbnasi in the evening of the day of arrival. And since I'm not planning on staying overnight, I've secured two meals of food in advance. It was the first time before I even got to my next destination.

The weather in Agra was not good. In the past, when I visited historical sites like AngkorWhat or Mehrangar Castle in Cambodia, I thought I was pretty lucky because the weather was nice. However, Agra was full of fog and moisture, and it was like watching a scene from a science fiction movie depicting a gloomy dystopia. Because of the thick fog, it was difficult to distinguish even objects at a close distance. Should I leave my luggage at the train station to enter the Taj Mahal? After thinking for a while, I greeted the backpackers and said goodbye to their accommodation. I decided to leave my luggage for a few hours. Even though the line to enter was past 1pm, the fog showed no sign of clearing. While waiting in line for hundreds of meters, the anticipation of 'will the fog go away?' We finally entered, but the fog still did not clear. The sky was still gray. It was so sad. Before coming to India, I One of the images of India that I had is burnt enough to be the Taj Mahal. The Mahal was romantic in itself, and ‘even if you can’t go anywhere else, the Taj Mahal I must go.’ I thought. The picture in the camera lens is good couldn't come out Repel the fog and take a picture as close as possible When I tried to do it, the angle of view of the camera that couldn't capture the huge Taj Mahal It was a problem, and when I took a step back and caught the angle of view to alleviate it, ,The view of the Taj Mahal became increasingly blurred due to the thick fog. radish Above all, color was the most problematic. A pure white child that I have only seen in photos I wanted to see a beautiful face. If you leave, you rip the train ticket to Varanasi. I thought about it, thinking about coming back the next day. I paid the entrance fee, which is quite expensive compared to the price of India, so I can spend here until sunset. Sitting on the stairs with Til Simsan, talking with my sister was spending time

The weather is getting cloudy, but my heart is not so gloomy didn't After I came to India, what I planned or wanted was more than I expected. It was time to get used to the fact that it wasn't easy. And at times like this, I thought that I was very lucky to have a friend. If I had been alone, I would have kicked out the Taj Mahal right away, resenting the sky. It's been an hour since we chatted and waited? In an instant, a wonderful sight unfolded before our eyes. In an instant, the fog cleared and the strong sunlight shone on me, Then the Taj Mahal of the White Palace was revealed. It really happened so quickly, like a scene from a cartoon. The Taj Mahal in the sunlight was truly a sight to behold. I had a similar feeling to seeing the sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple I visited a few years ago. How can the fickle weather impress me in this way? Until the sun went down, I enjoyed my time in the Taj Mahal to the fullest like a kid who came to the amusement park for the first time. For me, who was always wandering around, these times were really sweet.
