THE TAJ MAHAL
In the Indian city of Agra, close to the Yamuna River, stands the Taj Mahal, a well-known mausoleum and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. "The crown of palaces" is what Taj Mahal means.
The huge white dome in the centre of the Taj Mahal is its most iconic feature. It is surrounded by four smaller
domes and is 35 metres high. The interior spaces of the building are decorated with lovely arches and priceless
stones set into the walls. There are gardens with walkways, pools, and fountains around the structures.
The Taj Mahal's construction began in 1631 and was completed in 1648. It was built using materials in India
and other Asian countries. However, the main material is white marble. The Indian also used other high quality
building materials at that time. Historians believe that around 1,000 elephants transported the materials for the
construction.
Emperor Shah Jahan had the Taj Mahal built as a burial place for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to
legend, he intended to create a black Taj Mahal on the other side of the river, but this never came true. During
the Indian Rebellion of 1857, British soldiers destroyed many areas of the Taj Mahal, taking some of the
precious stones from its walls. The Taj Mahal has suffered from environmental damage over the years, and
significant government efforts have been made to preserve its beauty.
The Taj Mahal is one of India's most well-known landmarks. Every year, millions of people come to see the
mausoleum. The Taj Mahal is mentioned in lists of iconic buildings to see and is considered one of the New
Seven Wonders of the World.
