Taj Mahal



At last,fulfilled my dream being at Taj mahal,a master piece of Mughal architecture.The white marble mausoleum located at Agra is still attracting people from all corners of the world.Islamic,Ottoman Turkish,Persian and Indian architecture blended here in this great construction.Emperor   Shajahan employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen to create it in the memory of his Persian princess Mumtaj Begum.

The minarates display the penchant of the designer for symmetry.The marble dome which surmounted the tomb is spectacular.Decarative spires on the walls started from its base.We feel one sort of meditative mood in front of  Taj mahal. From any angle,the beauty of the grand construction never seem to be diminished.
