If you visit India then you must see Taj Mahal. Going to India without visiting Taj Mahal is perhaps like eating food without salt. French President Nicolas Sarkozy went to see the Taj Mahal today and he surely enjoyed his visit- or may be not because he went there alone without his girl friend Carla Bruni. It created some speculations in the media.

Sarkozy's plan to visit the Taj Mahal had prompted intense speculation on whether or not he would be joined by Bruni, who has not been with him for the official events in New Delhi on Friday and early Saturday.

The 40-year-old Bruni herself told the Liberation newspaper earlier this week that she would not be accompanying the president as they were not yet married.

Foreign ministry sources in conservative India had raised eyebrows over the prospect of Bruni attending as a first lady due to protocol issues, although her joining him for the trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra had not been ruled out.
