Heyy writters!! Welcome to a new chapter of my blog. Hope you are okay. Today i am gonna show you one of the most beautifuls historic monuments and one of the  7 Wonders of the Modern World. The Taj Mahal. Hope you enjoy it!!!


The Taj Mahal is a immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife.The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a vast Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar Pradesh. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal with construction starting in 1632 AD and completed in 1648 AD, with the mosque, the guest house and the main gateway on the south, the outer courtyard and its cloisters were added subsequently and completed in 1653 AD. The existence of several historical and Quaranic inscriptions in Arabic script have facilitated setting the chronology of Taj Mahal.


The Taj Mahal is considered to be the greatest architectural achievement in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture. Its recognised architectonic beauty has a rhythmic combination of solids and voids, concave and convex and light shadow; such as arches and domes further increases the aesthetic aspect. The colour combination of lush green scape reddish pathway and blue sky over it show cases the monument in ever changing tints and moods. The relief work in marble and inlay with precious and semi precious stones make it a monument apart. 

In short, this is a MUST- have in your bucketlist. I had the opprtunity to visit this place 3 years ago and its TOO AMAZING! If you want to combine art, love and history this a great option!! Hope you can go one day! Thaaanks for reading!
