Taj Mahal
MY FAVOURITE TOURIST SPOT Synopsis: * My feel * Introduction * A brief history and Its beauty * Love-Art mixed Monument of Glory * Conclusion
My feel: When I see Taj Mahal as a painting, I see with an awe in my eyes,
When I see Taj Mahal as a photograph, I feel as though I view Heaven….. When I see Taj Mahal as a miniature, I long to hold that paradise….
When I see Taj Mahal in real, tears roll down my eyes……

No wonder Taj Mahal is undoubtedly my favourite tourist spot. I will never ever get bored to see that magnificent, glorious, marvelous, structure - an epitome of love and art eventhough I would have seen it for n number of times.

Whichever story it tells, there is a certain vulnerability, a softness about Taj Mahal that always touches me. The white structure, actually nothing but a grave and yet so much more, stands unassumingly in spite of the yellowing pollution retaining a certain charm that takes my breath away.

Introduction:
. My favourite tourist spot is the most wonderstruck and amazing Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal, a dream carved in milky white marble is the matchless monument portraying the beauty of eternal love! A memorial from Shah Jahan to his beloved wife Mumtaz. The Taj Mahal,one of the seven wonders of the world is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Renowned for its artistic beauty, this extravagant building of timeless beauty is the outcome of a unique combination of passion and architectural zest. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". It means "crown of palaces” in Persian/Urdu. Located along the banks of River Yamuna, it spreads its beauty all over the place.
A brief history and its beauty:

Taj Mahal is widely considered and cherished as the “symbol for eternal love”. It is the most loved architecture that people had ever embraced. Emperor Shah Jahan himself

    Starting at the base of the Taj Mahal all sis elements of visual design, line, space, light and color, texture, pattern, and time and motion are all present. The Taj Mahal was completed in 1648 C.E. after 22 years of construction by Muslim Emperor Shan Jahan and master architect Ustad Isa. The Taj was erected on a square base that measures 186 x 186 feet, with the four corners truncated, which created an unequal octagon. Immediately upon first sight one can see the self-replicating geometry and symmetrical design. Varieties of lines are visible from straight lines of the base to the round dome 213 feet above. Each archway is exactly the same shape, pointed arch, but not all equal in size. Gems, designs and calligraphy can be found inside and out of the white marble masterpiece. The white marble design gives it a smooth texture and clean appearance. Depending on the time and light it will appear to change color, some say this identifies the moods of women. The color is reflected from the light and red sandstone used to construct surrounding structures. The reflection of the Taj can be seen on the Jumna River that flows on the backside of the Taj Mahal.…

    On the other hand, his Taj Mahal was to be way beyond the ordinary. Infact, it aspired to be beyond any human endeavour. Undoubtedly it would be grand in scale and magnificent. Yet it would exude a feeling of ethereality. The Taj Mahal would be robust yet delicate, sensuous and appealing. He would do to architecture what Jahangir had done to miniature paintings—taking it to the point of evolution where further improvement was impossible.…

    In my opinion, The Taj Mahal would be a great place for a travel brochure. I visited Taj Mahal few years ago with my family. The Taj Mahal is located in Agra, close to the capital of India, Delhi. I had been hearing about the beauty and the story behind it since my childhood. After my visit to the Taj Mahal, I could see why it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is beautiful not just in daylight but at night also, especially in the moonlight. The Taj Mahal represents India the same way that the Eiffel Tower does for France. The Taj Mahal is also known as Taj in India.…

    One of the last things that we have in common is that we both have a passion for beautiful buildings. He had the Taj Mahal built for his late wife. And he would sit and admire it until the day that he died. And with me, I love to go in town everyday and look at this new office building that is being built right across the street from the Central YMCA. I believe that if Shah Jahan was alive today, that we would enjoy the new building very much. The building is made of all glass and shines a blue-gray in the sunlight.…
