Taj Mahal-temple of love

Taj Mahal -The 'temple of love,' was constructed to keep a promise that was made by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to his wife Mumtaz Mahal who expressed her last dying wish to the distraught Shah Jahan to build her a memorial that would be the ultimate dedication to unparallel love in the entire world.

The construction of this marvelous building began in 1931 that takes 22 years and finally completed in 1653. 20,000 labour works day and night to complete this milky marble tomb. The Taj Mahal in Agra, India is amongst the Seven Wonders of the World, and is still unrivalled in beauty the world over. The Taj experience is more then just seeing a famous monument of India. It's an insight into the history, culture and heritage of India Travel.
The Taj Mahal is different with a feeling of fulfillment with no blemishes, a feeling of ecstasy having experienced a beautiful monument, a feeling of contentment having viewed the flawless magnificent edifice.

Viewing the Taj on Full moon nights is a blissful experience. The Taj seems to be bathing in the moon light with its fine designs getting illuminated further. The reflections of the Taj in the water pond in front of it or in the Yamuna waters in the back are some of the breath taking views. The purity of the white marble is such that the Taj reflects the sunlight and seems to blend in with the moods of the sun rays during the different phases of the day, such that it appears yellow in the mornings and changes its hues to sparkling white in the day and a light pink in the twilight dust. The sight of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India in full moon light is completely breathtaking. Different people have different views of the Taj but it would be enough to say that the Taj has a life of its own that leaps out of marble, provided you understand that it is a monument of love.
