The Taj - The most photographed monument
Taj Mahal evokes just one emotion: 'ecstasy', as it
offers experience that is simply unmatched. With stunning designs and
intricate carvings, this monument is truly breathtaking. Every visitor wants
to know the history behind the Taj Mahal, which is a testament to the
timeless art and culture of India, and a monument of love. The "Taj
Mahal", was built by Emperor Shahjahan in the memory of his beloved
Queen Mumtaz Mahal.
Taj Mahal illustrates the Islamic architecture in its purest form, which is
unique and incomparable. Being one of the wonders of the world, it provides
the most memorable and exhilarating experience when viewed on a moonlight
night. The Taj sparkles like a jewel at night, the radiance of dawn and the
orange glow of the sunset illuminates the splendor of this most beautiful
monument, rendering it pinkish in the morning and milky white in the
evening.
The tomb, wrapped in white marble is decorated with flawless sculptures and
inlaid design of flowers and calligraphy cut from precious gems. Below the
dome, in a dimly lit chamber, lie the mortal remains of Shahjahan and his
beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal, reminding the world of their undying love. Apart
from the main building, other appealing accessories play an important part
in the aesthetics of the Taj Mahal. The beautiful garden setting has been
worked out skilfully to present a radiant look to the white marble. Thus,
Taj Mahal is the perfect expression of beauty.
