Indian Huckleberry Finn beside the river at the Taj Mahal in Agr

The Hindu Huckleberry Finn laughing at the camera from across the Yamuna River. I met this mischeivous boy riding his camel along the banks of the river as the sun was setting to the West of the Taj Mahal before I left on the night train to Varanasi. Visiting India's most famous destination, the Taj Mahal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. The Taj was comissioned by Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his third wife who died in 1631. Begun in 1632 and completed in 1653, the Taj Mahal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered one of the eight wonders of the world.
