The coup de grâce of any visit to India, the Taj Mahal. It's a painful four-hour journey from Delhi, but absolutely worth the trip. You know you're going to encounter beauty, but it's even more impressive than can come across in photos. Counter-intuitively, some pics below of day trip are below.
A sweeper at Akbar's Tomb; notice the mobile phone.
Signs at the entrance to the Taj, separating the queues.
First view of the Taj!
And proof I was there.

One of the three optical illusions of the Taj: Albert Einstein.
From the distance.
Where Shah Jahan lived his last days under house arrest; the story goes that all he asked for when he was imprisoned by his son was that he have a view of the Taj.
