Rebirth of India: Superior

"Brother Shakru, get up quickly, otherwise you will miss the golden Taj Mahal.￠￡" When Shakru was drowsily sleeping, he heard Amisha's knock on the door. .

Since the two of them had suffered a tragic blow at the Rat Temple in Bikaner, this time they planned to go to a place with beautiful scenery to relieve their hurt mood, so they came to India's most famous attraction, the New Seventh Place in the World. A great miracle, the Taj Mahal was called "a tear on the cheek of eternity" by the great writer Rabindranath Tagore. (Although many students voted for me to write about weird scenic spots, please let me finish writing about the Taj Mahal first. After all, the cover of this book I made by myself is the Taj Mahal!)

The golden Taj Mahal mentioned by Amisha is actually a very unique sight of the Taj Mahal itself. Since the entire main body of the Taj Mahal is made of pure white marble, it becomes more beautiful during the day with the morning light. Depending on the intensity of the sunlight at noon, noon and sunset, the light and color shining on the tomb will change unpredictably, presenting different wonders. It is brilliant gold in the morning and dazzling white under the daylight. Under the setting sun, the white Taj Mahal gradually changes from gray and golden to pink, dark red and light cyan, and then turns to silvery white under the moonlight. , the white marble reflects the light blue fluorescent light, giving people a fairyland-like feeling. So some people say that if you don’t see the Taj Mahal, you haven’t been to India; if you don’t come to the Taj Mahal under the moonlight, you haven’t been to the Taj Mahal.

Therefore, the Taj Mahal has become the only attraction in the world with different ticket prices for morning, noon and evening tours. It only costs 30 rupees during the day, 110 rupees before 7 a.m., and at night, you have to pay a terrifying 1,500 rupees. This is the price for local Indians. Even if foreign tourists come during the day, the ticket price is 750 rupees, and it will increase proportionally during the rest of the time. When it comes to Friday, you won't be able to get in even if you have money, because the Taj Mahal is closed every Friday and is only open to MSL. (In a country where 80% of the population believes in Hinduism, it turns out that the most famous tourist attractions are from the Hindu religion. This is an interesting thing.)

Since Shakru and Amisha came to the Taj Mahal, they naturally didn't want to leave any regrets. Of course they didn't want to miss the golden Taj Mahal, so Shakru agreed, washed up hastily, and went there quickly. Have breakfast, because the security check at the Taj Mahal is extremely strict and no food is allowed, so you must eat more, otherwise if you are hungry, you will not be in a good mood no matter what beautiful scenery you see.

When we arrived at the Taj Mahal, we just happened to catch the morning sun shining on the dome, and the entire Taj Mahal looked magnificent. To catch this beautiful scenery, we naturally had to take crazy pictures to preserve and treasure it. While Shakru was taking pictures, a cleanly dressed middle-aged man A young man came over and kindly guided Shakru to take photos of the Taj Mahal from different angles. Not to mention, under his guidance, he was able to take different photos, and the results were very good.

Shakru didn't react at first, but soon he did. At the end of the shooting, he handed the middle-aged man a tip of 500 rupees, and the man clasped his hands in thanks and turned to leave. It was only then that Amisha asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Shakru, doesn't this man make money by taking photos of others?"

Shaklu pointed at the middle-aged man who walked towards a foreign tourist and said: "Obviously, he is doing this business, but he is very smart and has great vision, so his method is not offensive. People are annoying, but how much they earn depends on their luck.”

Amisha nodded: "Well, if everyone gives him five hundred rupees like Brother Shakru, then his income will be much more than working."

"That was also a result of his intelligence and politeness. Okay, now that we have finished taking photos, let's continue to admire and worship this great Taj Mahal." Shakru said with a smile.

After walking through the solemn and majestic doorway, the two followed the group into the interior of the Taj Mahal. Amisha looked at the exquisite reliefs and inlaid gems in the central octagonal hall and said with envy: "This Taj Mahal You are so lucky to have a husband who truly loves her like Emperor Shaguhan. It is a pity that the beauty was so unlucky that she died in her thirties. "

Shakru chuckled and said, "I have been in the palace for 19 years and have given birth to 14 children. I am pregnant almost every year. If I can live in this state for 19 years, my body is already very good."

Amisha said with some embarrassment: "Well, people at that time didn't know how to prevent pregnancy, otherwise it would definitely not be like this."

Perhaps Amisha herself felt that this reason was too far-fetched, so she changed the topic and said: "Brother Shakru, you said that if Emperor Shah Guhan really built an identical black mausoleum opposite the Taj Mahal, How spectacular that is!”

"Just building this Taj Mahal has depleted the Mughal dynasty's treasury. How can there be money to build a second one!" Shakru sighed. In fact, even if Shaguhan has money, There was no chance for him anymore, because after that he was conspired to usurp the throne by his own son.

The two were chatting and shopping, and soon it was noon. At this time, it was natural to go out to take pictures of the white Taj Mahal, so Amisha took out a pair of white socks from her small bag and handed it to Shakru: "Shakru Brother, put it on quickly, we have to go out and take pictures."

It is the end of June, the hottest time of the year in India, so the sun is extremely scorching. The Taj Mahal is located on a marble base as high as three or four stories, so the marble slab is like a steaming steamer under the scorching sun. However, all people entering the mausoleum must take off their shoes before climbing the steps to show respect, even foreign heads of state are no exception.

But if you walk barefoot on the marble steps at this time, it won’t take long for your feet to be burned, so experienced tourists will prepare white socks in advance and wear them at this time to avoid burns.

After taking pictures of the white Taj Mahal at noon, the two walked out of the scenic area and returned to the hotel to eat and rest, and wait until dusk to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Taj Mahal. Because they got up too early in the morning, and walked around all morning and morning, they were hungry and tired, and fell asleep on the bed after lunch.

When they returned to the Taj Mahal in the evening, they unexpectedly found that there were many people gathered at the entrance of the scenic area, holding long banners and shouting loud slogans. Shakru walked closer curiously and took a leaflet they distributed. After reading it, he was shocked! Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
