First time in India - 4 days in New Delhi and Agra

In May of 2023, I visited India for the very first time.
I brought my camera to capture my experience. I hope it shows how incredible and amazing, India is.
The trip was 4 days in total, starting in New Delhi and then a day in Agra to see the Taj Mahal, before returning to New Delhi.

The ruins at the site (the site was called "Mehtab Bagh", translated as "Moonlight Garden) on the other side of the river facing the Taj majal you showed at 9:30 is very old and there has been a heresay that the ruin actually was that of the basement a proposed Black Tajmahal (to be built of rare black marble that as per the myth the emperor Shahjahan who had the Taj mahal built as mausoleum of his deceased wife Mamtaj, had started construction of to be used as his own mausoleum but early into the construction was incarcerated by his hardliner orthodox son, who went to become the next emperor, in a nearby fort, which also is a UNESCO world heritage site, where he died of old age and illness). There is another opinion that the ruin was of an unfinished pool the basement of which was to be used as the emperor's tomb so that at full moon nights, the blackish image of the Tajmahal woul reflect off the pool's water, black signifying emperor's grief over untimely demise of the empress.

First time seeing one of your vlogs. You seem a lovely guy. Great job presenting India in all its contrasting glory. Sad that it was such a short visit as there is so much to see in Delhi. I agree with you on the Delhi Red Fort, good to visit the outside and around the entry gate but Agra's Rad Fort is far more interesting to visit. Keep up the good work!

April and May are the hottest months in India! Last time I went was March of 2022 and it was the hottest March on record in 211 years! It was averaging 38-43 degrees 😅😅😅 so April/May temperatures. It is hot but it’s nice cause there’s less people around 😂

[@theworldandalex]

So hot - but so worth it 😉🥰
