A little Mughal family history: Take delight in the sublime geometry of Emperor Humayuns Tomb in southern Delhi as you proceed to Mathura, the city of Krishna. On the outskirts of town pay homage to the architectural wonder of his son Akbars Tomb where hordes of monkeys play in the fields. Onward to Agra for your visit to The Taj Mahal, the most famous mausoleum of love built by Shah Jahan, Akbars grandson, to his wife Mumtaz who died in childbirth. A special 3-D cutaway schematic illustrates the Tajs divine proportions and alludes to its presumed origin as a Shiva temple.
