Poet Rabindranath Tagore
Sheer poetry in marble. Majesty and magnificence, unrivalled. The Taj Mahal, the one and only one of its kind across the world. The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of th
e Yamuna River in a vast Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar Pradesh. The monumental labour of love of a great ruler for his beloved queen. The ultimate realization of Emperor Shahjahan's dream. The designer of Taj Mahal was Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants to transport it to the site. From 1631 A.D, it took 22 years in the making. An estimated 20,000 people worked to complete the enchanting mausoleum, on the banks of the Yamuna in Agra.
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles. Mostly important to mention that Taj Mahal is one of the 7 wonders of the world and considered among top of them all.
It is the most beautiful place in the subcontinent.

Its magnificent presence creates it to be a place of tourism. People from all over the world come India to visit the beauty and uniqueness of Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal is must visit place in India as its uniqueness lies in some truly remarkable innovations carried out by the horticulture planners and architects of Shah Jahan.
