Taj Mahal is one of the most adored monuments in the world.

The glazing white marble


shimmers over the Yamuna river, creating a paradise illusion. In front of the Taj Mahal are lush
Persian gardens that complement the majesty of the architecture. The beautiful monument is
located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Every year, thousands of tourists visit India to take a look at this
marvellous piece of architecture.

Taj Mahal is the symbol of love as it was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife, Mumtaz
Mahal. The grave of Mumtaz lies beneath the Taj Mahal. Today, the monument’s beauty is in
danger because of environmental pollution, and this has led to the decolouring of white marble.
Hence, the Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) Authority has banned the use of petrol and diesel vehicles
to enter a 500m radius of the Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is one of the major attractions in India and is known worldwide for its magnificence.
As a result, tourists from global platforms travel our country to see and praise this beautiful
creation. Situated in Agra, it is a stunning piece of art; Shah Jahan built it in the memory of his
beautiful wife. It is also believed that Shah Jahan saw many designs of the Taj Mahal and later
selected the present one. It showcases the ultimate power of love and dedication between two
people. UNESCO declared the Taj Mahal a heritage site in 1982. It took almost 22 years to finish
this great creation. Expensive stones are used to decorate the Taj Mahal. The most suitable time to
visit the Taj Mahal is during the sunset when sun rays fall on the glimmering white marble to
create a mesmerising image. This beautiful monument, the Taj Mahal, is named one of the seven
wonders of the world.
