The American first couple, Barack and Michelle would miss a tryst with Taj Mahal, a symbol of love during their maiden visit to India, but US official did not rule out a future trip.
“The first couple would not be having a trip to the Taj Mahal this time”, Ben Rhodes Deputy National Security Advisor said at a White House briefing on US President’s visit to India adding ” but hopefully he would in future”.
“He(Obama) loves to see the Taj Mahal. He could at some point.” he said.
President Obama and the first lady may skip the fable marble monument, renowned the world over as a symbol of romance, the couple will instead make a trip to the Lutyens, Humayun`s tomb considered a forerunner to the Taj.
“The first couple, however, would be visiting Humayun’s tomb,” Rhodes said, describing it as one of the great cultural marvels in New Delhi.
