Rubio paused a four-city India trip for a 45-minute visit to the Taj Mahal before a Tuesday Quad meeting in New Delhi.
On Monday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the Taj Mahal in Agra with his wife, Jeanette Rubio, during his four-day diplomatic tour of India.

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari is expected to receive Rubio in Jaipur, where he is scheduled to visit the Amber Fort.
