Taj
Mahal (crown of all palaces) is wonder of
wonders and one of the most beautiful
building on earth it is such a beautiful
harmonious building that it is not
beautiful for eyes only but for mind and
soul. President Clinton rightly said there
are two types of people in world one who
has seen Taj and one who has not seen Taj,
it reminds us that how love is beautiful
but is expensive as well it also reminds
us that this is the majestic gift any man
can offer to his lady love |

Architecture
of Taj Mahal represents Islamic influence,
in its purest form, this is epitomized by
the incomparable Taj Mahal built by the
Mughal Emperor Shahjahan as a memorial to
his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Work started on
this monument in 1634 and continued for
almost 22 years. Situated in the city of
Agra on the banks of the Yamuna, the Taj
is enclosed in a garden amidst fountains
and ornamental trees. The walled complex
includes two mosques and an imposing
gateway. The tomb is encased in white
marble which 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.

The
silver light of the full moon shines upon
the cool white dome of the Taj Mahal,
softly glowing in the night air. The
extreme magnificence and beauty of the Taj
can be appreciated fully in the subtle
moonlight. However, the radiance of dawn
and the orange glow of sunset also
illumine the splendor of this most
beautiful monument of India. Even in the
bright light of the day, this wonder of
the world shines with an awe-inspiring
loveliness.

Without doubt,
the Taj Mahal ranks as amongst the most
perfect buildings in the world, flawlessly
proportionate, built entirely out of marble.
Intended to be a commemoration of the memory
of Shahjahan's beloved wife, in reality, it
is his gift to the entire human race.
