I planned to visit India. With my family when we were on our tour of India after arrived at Delhi (the capital of India).there were many options like. Same day Agra trip, Golden tringle tour. We selected the same day Agra trip. Because we all of my family members want to visit the Taj mahal. The seventh wonder of the world.
We start our trip from Delhi to Agra after early break fast. After arrived at Agra we fresh up in the hotel and start our tour to visit the seventh wonder of the world. We all were surprised to saw the beauty of Taj mahal.
The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan to enshrine the body of his wife, Arjumand Bann Begum (Mumtaz Mahal) after she died in 1630 at Burhanpur in South India. The construction started in 1632 and was completed in 1653. The workforce of some 20,000 included craftsmen from Italy, Persia and Turkey. It is built by the bank of the Yamuna River not very far from the Agra Fort.
The Taj Mahal is synonymous of love and romance.
The whole structure is more than 55 meters high built in white and yellow marble. The Taj Mahal is flanked by two smaller red stone buildings, one a mosque and the other a rest house. Outside the walls surrounding the tomb, you'll be harassed by many hawkers, but the Taj mahal and the surrounding gardens are haggler free, so even with the huge crowds visiting the mausoleum, it is a relaxing place.
Most people spend several hours around the Taj mahal or in the gardens, which are well maintained. The garden has a geometrical structure, and is believed to symbolize paradise.To enter the mausoleum, you need to put a cloth around your feet like for any temple in India. You can rent it for a small fee just before the stairs leading to the tomb. If you want to go barefoot, you will certainly burn your feet on a sunny day due to the marble heating up under the Indian sun. Inside the mausoleum it is surprisingly chilly. The interiors are rather dark, and on first sight there's not much to see, but if you take a closer look you will see all the fine marble carvings decorated with many precious and semiprecious stones of any color (sapphire, topaz, coral,...) . The Taj Mahal is probably the most famous building in the world. Its picture has covered many magazines and travel brochures, and everyone has probably seen a picture of it, but nothing really compares like the real thing - the Taj Mahal looks a lot better in reality than on a picture. Even those who come to see the Taj mahal with high expectations never fail to be over whelmed by its beauty. If you're accompanied by a guide, he will certainly show you a lot of the interior decorations are made of transparent marble. In the middle of the room inside the Taj mahal, a screen of carved marble surrounds the cenotaphs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan, also built exclusively in marble; with (calligraphy and other) inlay work.
We all were impressed by the location of Taj mahal. Taj mahal is standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna,
We all of family member enjoyed our tour. Our tour full with entertainment. We all love Taj mahal and India.
