Mark Zuckerberg is blown away by the Taj Mahal! He is in India

Mark Zuckerberg is here, yes he is in India! And he seems to be pretty much blown off by the beauty of the Taj Mahal - an Indian monument symbolic of love.

The Facebook founder decided to head straight to the marvelous Indian heritage upon his landing in India and posted a picture of him from there that shows him staring at the marble beauty.

Enchanted by the majestic piece of art, Zuckerberg posted on Facebook: “I'm in India for our Townhall Q&A tomorrow, and I decided to visit the Taj Mahal. I've always wanted to see this. It is even more stunning than I expected. It's incredible what people can build -- and what love can motivate us to build.”

His visit comes close on the heels of his Townhall Question and Answer session at IIT-Delhi tomorrow to connect with Indians, whom he described as "one of our most active and engaged communities" on the social media. He had announced his visit on October 15 in a post on Facebook.

He said that he will also answer the questions from across Facebook and from a live audience during Townhall.

Last month in Palo Alto, Zuckerberg hosted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a Townhall Question and Answer session. "India is personally very important to the history of our company here. This is a story that I have not told publicly and very few people know," he said at the Facebook headquarters on September 27.

"Early on in our history, before things were really going well and we had hit a tough patch, and a lot of people wanted to buy Facebook and thought we should sell the company, I went and saw one of my mentors, Steve Jobs, and he told me that in order to reconnect with what I believed is the mission of the company, I should visit this temple that he had gone to in India early in his evolution of thinking about what he wanted Apple and his vision of the future to be," he said.

"So I went and I traveled for almost a month and seeing the people, seeing how people connected, and having the opportunity to feel how much better the world could be if everyone had a stronger ability to connect, reinforced for me the importance of what we were doing. And that is something I have always remembered over the last ten years as we built Facebook," Zuckerberg had said.
