Taj Mahal India
Taj Mahal in Agra 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. So exquisite is the workmanship that the Taj has been described as "having been designed by giants and finished by jewelers".
The only asymmetrical object in the Taj is the casket of the emperor which was built beside the queen's as an afterthought. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna river.
Taj Mahal means "Crown Palace" and is in fact the most well preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world. It is best described by the English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold, as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor's love wrought in living stones."
Tourists from all over the world visit Agra not to see the ruins of the red sandstone fortress built by the Mughal emperors but to make a pilgrimage to Taj Mahal, India's most famous architectural wonder.
