Taj Mahal - Agra
They say the Taj is for lovers as the king built this for his wife. I am not able to afford a Taj so traveling the world together will have to be my gift for my wife.
Fort Agra.
The Sari wash day - as they are laid out on the side of the road or fields to dry.
As we visit the handicraft industries, it is fascinating to see how the products are all hand made. These bins of wool are combined in color lots for bails and distributed to individual homes for the craftsman to complete. Most of the rugs are woven by women.
Pulling the individual fibers will make the pattern more intense and distinct. The work is so incredibly beautiful.
Pots are displayed in every country. Local handicrafts are along the roadside as locals pray for their "lucky" sale.
