TajMahal---One of the seven wonders in the world.
Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built by an Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died during childbirth.As a tribute to a beautiful woman and as a monument for enduring love, the Taj reveals its subtleties when one visits it.TajMahal is in Agra, India.It is built entirely of white marble.
The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it. The large garden contains four reflecting pools dividing it at the center. Each of these four sections is further subdivided into four sections and then each into yet another four sections. Like the Taj, the garden elements serve like Arabesque, standing on their own and also constituting the whole.
Nice place to be seen in a lifetime.
