Taj Mahal



Location: Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The Taj Mahal is widely considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever created. The exquisite marble structure in Agra, India, is a mausoleum, an enduring monument to the love of a husband for his favourite wife. It is also an eternal testament to the artistic and science accomplishments of a wealthy empire.

Shah Jahan, “the king of the world”, took control of the Mughal Empire throne in 1628 very much in love with the queen the dubbed Mumtaz Mahal or “Chosen One of the Palace”. The poets at Agra’s Mughal court said her beauty was such that the moon hid its face in shame before her.

  1. Amazing Blog friend! Your images are also very nice. It is amazing place in world. I have been visited in this place before boston washington bus tours with my wife. It is a really wonderful piece of art and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It represents the love of Mughal ruler Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. I really like this place.
