The Taj with its foundation

As you can see from my earlier posts as well, I have been quite taken in by the Taj, hence the number of posts on the subject. This will be my last post on the Taj, but I do like this photo. Most photos of the Taj show it from the front side, and you almost never get to see the foundation of the Taj. It is positioned on a foundation, which also incorporates the basement where the actual graves are located. However, with the Taj facing a massive tourist arrival, the entrance to the basement is now sealed. I remember visiting the basement the last time I had gone there (which was actually more than 14 years back).
