Of course, there is more to Agra than just the Taj Mahal. It is a historic city with plenty to offer (http://wikitravel.org/en/Agra). After I went to the Taj Mahal, I stopped by a jewel shop that specializes in star rubies. These are amazing stones, and only found in India. I also went to the Agra Marble Emporium -- artisans who specialize in marble inlay work. I did not take photos, as they usually charge you if you take a picture of them while doing their work (welcome to India, everything has a price tag).

Coca Cola is everywhere in India. If there isn't a sign for coke, there is a sign for Pepsi.

The paint still left is made of gold. When the fort was in its prime, the walls were adorned with gold paint and gemstones, diamonds, pearls.
