Taj Mahal, also known as the "Crown of Palaces" the symbol of "Love" and the "Pride of India" is a dream of many to visit. It was built by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in the memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Construction took almost 20 years completing it in the 1648. A master piece and one of the wonder of the world is truly magnificent.
The perfect geometrical patterns and the carvings and the grandeur of this place, with it's beautiful garden makes the overall place stunning and captivating. The white marble of the Taj gives the message of Love and Peace.
When I had got married on our honeymoon this was also one of our destination. After that we had again visited some years later but to our hard luck it was closed on that day. It was a strong urge for me to visit this place once more in my life time and finally after 23 years again on our last wedding anniversary we were at this place once again visiting the majestic Taj Mahal.
These buildings are on both the sides of Taj
Awww...look at us we Love Birds 💖💖💖
Taking pictures inside of Taj Mahal is not allowed. Inside there is a 8 sided chamber where you see the tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan, but they are empty. The real sarcophagi are in a quiet room below, at garden level. Over a period of time with the pollution increasing the marbles at many places you will see have gone yellowish, mostly in the insides of Taj. The outside is well maintained. The Garden and the pool area is kept as is and maintained. The white marble of the Taj you will see different color reflections during the day.
There are many events that happen during the night time and the whole place gets lit up, It is a beautiful sight to see but then for that you need to stay there overnight. We had just done a day trip so had to leave back during afternoon time to be back in Delhi by night time.
I am in complete awe of this place and will like to visit it again but even if I do not get the opportunity it is fine, because the last visit was good enough to get back the rhythm of this place.
Hope you all enjoyed watching the pictures of Taj Mahal.
