TAJ MAHAL

TAJ MAHAL

COUNTRY: INDIA
PLACE: AGRA, SOUTH-WEST OF DELHI

I would like to share with the travelers that seek a place which has a very romantic story behind a beautiful building which is TajMahal.It is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. 

The TajMahal is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India where it is built entirely of white marble.

On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the TajMahalas if suspended when viewed from across the Jamunariver.TajMahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India.  The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. 

TajMahal means the’ Place of the Crown’ because; Taj means “Crown” and Mahal means “place”. There are several myths about TajMahal and according to one of the myths, the construction is sinking and it is known that in spite of all the precautions, cracks were discovered in it just 4 years after its completion and that it was tilting towards the riverside. 

 It is also told that Shah Jahan got the hands of his sculptors and architects cut off so that they would never be able to build a monument as magnificent and beautiful as the TajMahal again and he even got their eyes pulled out so that they would never be able to witness anything bigger and more beautiful than the monument that they had built during their lifetime. 
                                                   

It is a very special place that must to be visit because TajMahal is a LOVE symbolic and this is one of my favourite places.
