Experiencing the Taj Mahal, Markets, and Flavors of India

Oct 03, 2025

While pilgrimage is a journey of the soul, it also invites us to enjoy the beauty and joy of life along the way. After temple visits and quiet moments in meditation, we’ll step into the colorful swirl of India’s bazaars, browsing vibrant textiles and scarves, breathing in the scent of fresh spices, or maybe just picking up a small memento to tuck in our bags. Together we’ll wander through the markets, sip our bottled water, nibble on snacks, and take in the lively rhythm of daily life.

   

 

A highlight of our leisure time will be a stop at the Taj Mahal, a world famous monument whose luminous domes and peaceful gardens invite us to pause in wonder. And yes, we’ll sip our locally made lassi (an adventure for the brave!) as no journey would be complete without tasting the flavors of the land, from fragrant chai to a simple samosa, each one a gentle reminder that Divine Mother is just as present in the joy of food as in the silence of meditation.

Sincerely,
