The Back View of the Taj

There is a wonderful view of the Taj from the backside. This is across the Yamuna River. Our wonderful tuk tuk driver took us there both at sunset and sunrise hoping to get a wonderful view. Unfortunately it was overcast and a bit rainy both times.
There are actually two vantage points. One is a garden area with a fee and the other is a free area which is actually more interesting. In the daytime there are photographers there for photo taking and a camel and other animals for tourists to ride on. And usually a few goats. People gather greens for their animals.


There was a village of sorts nearby. With very poor houses...mostly tents and cardboard type affairs actually.

Many of the "houses" looked like this and worse.
