Taj Mahal is one of the bizarre things that need to be seen with your own very eyes to appreciate the beauty and the monumental work that had been done in order to build it. For me, it's the realization of the fact that the floral patterns decorating the building are not painting but made up from many varieties (apparently about 28 of them) of colorful gemstones and many of them are imported from outside India.
