"Smiling above the expected"
This was shot during the monsoon, at the moment of the year when very few people come to Agra in order to visit the Taj Mahal (ताज महल).
Near the last pool, I met a group of Rajasthani villagers who were very happy to see the mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
They asked me to take a few pictures of them.
The light was perfect as it stopped raining for a while.
I have always been impressed by the elegance and the beauty of Rajasthani women, they walk like fashion models, wearing amazing garments and jewels even when they have to work in the fields or whenever they are keeping animals.
They might be villagers, they look like queens, wrapped in dignity and pride.
That morning they allowed me to show the Taj in a different way, this unique view was so unexpected, like this lady who is smiling above the expected...
