The Taj Mahal, a masterpiece of the Mughal architecture, is in Agra, India.
Built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz, the Taj Mahal is a symbol of love and dedication. It was designed by the great Persian architect Ustad Isa and is built in white marble. It was recently voted as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and is also a World Heritage site.
The Taj Mahal is most beautiful at night when the moonlight falls over it, with the River Yamuna flowing behind it. The monument is adorned by a variety of precious and semi-precious stones. It houses tombs, a mosque, fountains and gardens, making it a fine example of craftsmanship and art. The exteriors as well as the interiors are decorated intricately with verses from the holy Quran. Its grandeur is inexplicable, and it is thus a must-see attraction.Web Site: http://www.taj-mahal.co.in/index.htm
