@sjain88 has magic in her fingers is something my mom would say in Tamil - and it's true. She truly does. She is the kind of person who'll whip up a feast for a large group and make it look easy. No sweat, no talk! Me on the other hand, I'll make coffee with instant powder and brag about it for days. :D Anyway, I visited Allahabad for Shivangi and Arnab's wedding last month and I must say Allahabad is sort of the embodiment of Shivangi when it comes to food and street food. No-fuss, incredible flavors, and downright delicious. You'll be licking your fingers clean every single time. One of many reasons to visit. . . . . #photographers_of_india #Indianphotography #indiaclicks #_coi #mypixeldiary #igersofindia #indianshutterbugs #desi_diaries #India_clicks #everydayindia #indiaig #yourshot_India #traveldeeper #passionpassport #indiagram #lonelyplanet #IAmATraveler #CNTgiveItAShot #travelstoke #dametravelerfoodie #india #incredibleindia #tasteofindia #kachori #india #incredibleindia In the heart of Allahabad, forgotten in the sands of time, lies a stunning Mughal monument called Khusro Bagh meaning "the gardens of Khusro". In these lush green gardens with mango and guava trees, are three mausoleums from the 17th century. Quite honestly, the first sweeping glance at these structures, their perfect symmetry and setting will take your my breath away. Very reminiscent of the Taj Mahal in architecture and style, the mausoleum(s) are made out of sandstone and smaller in structure. . People around the world have heard of Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal emperor and the commissioner of the Taj Mahal. In contrast, very few have heard of Khusro, his half-brother and the original heir to the Mughal throne. Even fewer have visited Khusro Bagh. If the rebellious (and just?) Khusro had been successful in his attempts to overthrow his father, Shah Jahan might not have become an emperor and there would have been no Taj Mahal. Before you paint Khusro in a bad light,  it's important to understand he had quite the tragic life. A Mughal Game of Thrones if you will. I wrote about what I read and saw in a new blog post if that piques your interest :) . . . . . . #India #incredibleindia #f4fofficial #creativeimagemagazine #photographers_of_india #Indianphotography #indiaclicks #_coi #igersofindia #history #tajmahal #travelstoke #CNTGiveItAShot #IAmATraveler #tlpicks #traveldeeper #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #indianshutterbugs #indiagram #desi_diaries #India_clicks #natgeoindia  #everydayindia #indiaig #yourshot_India #traveldeeper #lonelyplanetindia #passionpassport #lonelyplanet
