There are many things you can not do at the Taj- see photo below! Security is tight with a body pat down and basically only a camera allowed to be carried in. And yes there are crowds of people, but then if you came to India why wouldn't you visit this amazing tribute to love.
It is breathtaking in the late afternoon, the white marble gleaming in the softer light. 
Italian artisans were brought in for the inlay 'pietra dura' work seen here in the borders surrounding the carved marble relief panels. Protective shoe covers help keep the marble from discolouring too much.

Amen to love!
