Taj Mahal |
Taj Mahal 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 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.
Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan
in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal. It
is an "elegy in marble" or some say an expression of a
"dream."
Taj Mahal meaning is Crown Palace. It's was constructed over a period of twenty-two years.
The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners
truncated, forming an unequal octagon. Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet.
SO LET'S HAVE A DREAM IN TAJ MAHAL .....
