TAJ MAHAL:



This monument has stood the test of time to showcase LOVE. Rated as a Wonder Of The World, this historic marble marvel was built on the banks of the river Yamuna by one of the greatest architectural Emperor Shah Jahan to symbolize his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Its a white marble structure which engaged around 22000 men for about 20 years. The first element of this architectural feat is the royal entrance gateway (shown in the pic) which gives a royal welcome to the visitors. Beyond the entrance are two pathways which lead to the main structure. A pool runs between the two pathways with vibrant fountains, designed to provide refreshment to the eyes of the visitor. If you ve experienced tiredness, then there are magnificient gardens around the pathways to feed you with relaxing moments. Ideal time to visit this place is during the winter season between November to January. This place looks vibrantly beautiful in the moon light of the full moon. Thats the ultimate moment to look at this monument.



Then its the turn of the Taj Mahal itself. The main catch of it is the white marble tomb resting on a square plinth. Four minarets surround the main structure signifying security. The most important feature to be noted is that from whichever side you look at the Taj Mahal, it looks the same viz. its symmetric in all directions. Surrounding the huge white marble tomb are four other tombs at equal displacements. Behind it, you can find a mosque with the fabulous muslim architectural style, and rest sure, you can go there freely and spend time with god. The calligraphed walls were once filled with precious gems, and the intricate carvings on both the interior and the exterior walls signify the mughal literature. For sure it would have taken tremendous human resource to build calligraphed walls decorated with gems. Inside is a huge spacial area with literary scripts inscribed everywhere. Discover the heights of engineering and architecturals achievements at the Taj Mahal. Do not fail to visit this place, coz this is rightfully rated as THE WONDER OF THE WORLD. There are several hotels here for accomodation ranging from 500 to 10000 INR, depending on the consumers budget.
