Discovering Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is the most graceful and extravagant monument in India. It is a universally acclaimed symbol of endless love and the seventh wonder of the modern world. The Taj was created by the Emperor Shah Jehan, in memory of his beloved wife Queen Mumtaz Mahal who died in 1631. So great was his love for her, he ordered the building of the most beautiful mausoleum on Earth.The Taj Mahal stands on a raised marble platform surrounded by four minarets, inside are delicate mosaics and marble walls decorated with intricate patterns of inlaid precious stones.
