One of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal in Agra is a saga of eternal love that attracts travellers from the remotest corners of the world. A lot has been said and written about its ethereal beauty but nothing compares to standing in front of this white marbled monument and experiencing its magnificence. Located on the bank of river Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is no ordinary structure but a magical vision that has come to life! It is believed to be the most alluring early in the morning when it is relatively quiet and the Taj gets shrouded in gentle mists against the backdrop of a red and gold sky. The moods of this iconic monument vary from dawn to dusk. For any tourist who is visiting India for the first time, the Taj Mahal is usually on top of the list of things to see.
History of the Taj Mahal
Appearing in almost all literature about India, the Taj Mahal derives its name from the Persian language wherein taj’ means crown and ‘mahal’ means palace. Interestingly, it is dedicated to the beautiful queen Mumtaz Mahal whose name also means ‘crown of the palace.’ According to one legend, it took 20 years for the construction of this gigantic monument as emperor Shah Jahan invited artisans from as far as Italy and Persia to create this work of art. Enveloped in a tale of mystery and mystique, it is a must-visit site in India.
Not that India has any dearth of tourist attractions. From places of abundant natural beauty to heritage sites, our incredible country has been blessed with treasures that sprawl across its entire length and breadth.
