The Taj Mahal is India's premier tourist attraction. Thousands of camera bearing tourists converge on it at dawn to see its marble dome turn pink with the rising sun. For me, the tourists were as much the story as the building itself. Everyone wants to make the famous post card view, and then have a picture made of themselves standing in front of that view. This ritual is part of the lure of travel. Almost every traveler would want to see the Taj Mahal before they die, and commemorate that moment by making a picture of it. And this image commemorates that ritual.
