Now Discovering Taj Mahal in Agra, India, with @musafir_dil_harshi.
An ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history. #thediscoverer #nowdiscovering
Duff House Mausoleum was built in 1793, about a mile from Duff House. It was built by the second Earl of Fife. He was anxious to prove that he was descended from an ancient lineage related to the medieval earls of Fife and so appropriated tombs from elsewhere, passing them off as those of his ancestors.

‘Nobody had informed me that at one view I should see a palace, temples on high places, woods worthy of being each a metropolis of Druids, the noblest lawn in the world fenced by half the horizon, and a mausoleum that would tempt one to be buried alive: in short I have seen gigantic palaces before, but never a sublime one’. The waspish Horace Walpole waxing lyrical in 1772 after a stay at Castle Howard, the model for Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead. Yesterday another delightful return to Castle Howard with a lovely group from Australia. Oh to be at one of Sebastian’s Oxford parties with them and Horace and Anthony Blanche exchanging barbs and witticisms over champagne and plover’s eggs!! And who else should we ask? #castlehoward #mausoleum #newbridge #english #arcadian #landscape #architecture #hawksmoor #horacewalpole #bridesheadrevisited #evelynwaugh #partytime #storytelling @academytravel
Now Discovering Taj Mahal in Agra, India, with @christianbetzmann.
An ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra, Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian and earlier Mughal architecture. The most spectacular feature is the marble dome that surmounts the tomb. #thediscoverer #nowdiscovering
