To enter the Taj Mahal, the Mosque on the west side, or the Guest House which mirrors the Mosque on the east side, visitors need to take off shoes.

Maybe the water was there because of the cleaning project carried out at the time.

I imagine if he was born 500 years earlier, he might have been a great elephant warrior, instead of hauling tourists for 5 straight years.
At least he was grateful enough after accepting our tips of 40 Rupees (HK$6.5 or US$0.8). Our friends on the other elephant actually was asked by the "driver" for more tips.
