Taj Mahal |
A tribute to the passion of an emperor and the eternal love and romance of a royal couple, Taj Mahal captures the sublime expressions in singular beauty and harmonious landscaping. A masterpiece of art and architecture, Taj Mahal seems to be a storehouse of surprises! A high red sandstone plinth that has given to many speculations and myths in the past about a hidden floor, four tapering minarets on the four corners of the white marble terrace, the white marble onion-shaped double dome structure that has stole the world’s heart with its unique features, precious and semi-precious stones inlaid in white marble to add color to its motifs, and the sparkling bejeweled cenotaph where the beloved queen of Emperor Shah Jahan, known as Mumtaz Mahal, rests forever - are only some of the highlights of Taj.   |
| People rightly say that Taj Mahal has been ‘designed by giants and finished by jewelers.’ Experts from as far as Middle East and Europe were roped in to make Taj the exquisite beauty that it is today. About 20,000 people labored hard for 22 hours to make this marble wonder, and it has proudly retained its position as one of the Seven Wonders of the World in the new list. While gardens and waterworks at Taj are fascinating, the tourist guides at Taj will help you figure out the various optical illusions and perfect symmetry of the structure. The Taj miniatures and the classic photography poses at Taj are perfect mementos of your trip here. |
