Taj Mahal
The tale is not untold in any corner of the world – the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan commissioned the Taj Mahal in 1632 to give rest on to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The ivory-made, white marble mausoleum is the most beautiful tomb to have existed since the dawn of civilization, and it is understood that it houses the secrets of the greatest love story ever told.
The mausoleum shines in all its pride on the banks the mighty river Yamuna in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Revered as one of the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal’s charm and grace have its allure spread across continents – its splendor attracting tourists, historians, and artists throughout the year from all over the world. It is graced with perfection and mystique that captivates its visitors.
Every impression on that great white marble mesmerizes its captor with the patience and love that marks it. Renowned as the best example of Mughal art and history, tinted with the colors and tastes of Persia, it was declared a world heritage UNESCO site in 1983 for being “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.” Upon visiting the city of Agra, prepare to be united with the spirits of love and the relics of their tale as you visit Taj Mahal to experience the eternality of love and loss truly.
