In Old India
From Jaipur to Agra and Calcutta is a wonderful trip, and Burton Holmes shows some of the quaintest and queerest sights in the world, among them the funeral of a rich man of India. This may sound sad, but from all outward appearances the gorgeous procession of floats makes one think it was Mardi Gras Day. Next he takes you for a ride on the back of an elephant. After going through numerous other novel adventures in Agra, the reel winds up by showing the world-famous Taj Mahal, the loveliest building in the world, erected 800 years ago as the tomb of a much loved wife, by Shah Jehan. After seeing Taj Mahal you go on to world-famous Calcutta, thus ending the trip.
