TAJ MAHAL
Taj
Mahal, an epitome of love, is actually a masoleum. Standing majestically on the
banks of river Yamuna, the Tajmahal is synonymous to love and romance. Taj Mahal
was constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife
and queen. The name “ Taj Mahal “ was derived from the name of Shah jahan’s
wife, Mumtaz Mahal, which means crown of palaces.
Taj
Mahal represents the finest architectural and artistic achievement. The mausoleum
was constructed of pure white marble. The white mable is inlaid with semi-
precious stones ( including jade, crystal, lapis lazuli, amethyst and turquoise
) that from the intricate designs. Its central dome reaches a height of 240
feet ( 73 meters ) . four slender towers, or minarets, stand at the corners. Inside
the mausoleum , an octagonal mrble chamber adorned with carvings and semi-
precious stones house the false tomb of Mumtaz mahal. Her actual remains lie
below, at garden level.
Taj
mahal shows shades of magnificent beauty at different time during the day. At dawn
when the first rays of the sun hits the dome of this epic monument, it radiates
like a heavenly pinkishh palace. At daytime, when the sky is bright and clear ,
the Taj looks milky white . at a moonlit night when the fool oon rays fall on
the glistening white marble , the cool moon rays reflect back from the white
marble and give the Taj Mahal a tings of blue coor. It’s simply breathtaking!. With
such beauty wonders of the World.
