The Taj-Mahal
The TAJ MAHAL – A symbol of Love
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.
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. History says that it took almost twenty years and twenty thousand workers to build it. It is made of a pure white variety of marble specially brought from Rajasthan and Iran and expert architects from France, Italy and other European countries with the chief architect Isha Khan from Iran. Legend also says that the right thumb of Isha was chopped off afterwards so that he could never recreate a similar peace of beauty. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 Million Rupees.
I, with my family, reached the Taj Mahal in the afternoon. The bright sunrays on the white marble make the Taj very brighter and attractive. As soon as we entered the main gate, there was a beautiful garden with green lawns, Cyprus trees and a fountain in the middle. I have heard from people that there are around 16 wells under the main construction of the Taj Mahal. It is actually build on the bank of the river Jamuna, India’s one of the largest rivers. The Taj was reflected in the water of the Jamuna.
From outside if you look at the Taj, it looks small but when we saw it closely, we could see how large and solid it really was. Standing on the marble steps, we could feel the height touching the sky. Before climbing the steps to the tomb, visitors always remove their shoes as
