Love Describes Taj Mahal!

Throughout the centuries the Taj Mahal has been the memento of love. It has been the most bewildering beautiful monument to love ever built. This monument, located in Agra, the capital of the Mughal Empire in the 16th and the 17th century, is mainly the reason for many tourists to visit India. It took a total of 22 years and 20,000 people to construct this monument. The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal emperor, in memory of his dead wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631.

It is believed that the chief architect of this beautiful monument was an Iranian man named Isa Khan. When Shah Jahan saw the memorial, he was so ecstatic that he ordered the hands and thumbs of many of the builders to be cleaved so that they would not be able to make a building as magnificent as his wife’s mausoleum.

This beautiful relic built by Shah Jahan is by far the most beautiful monument which shows the feeling of love so beautifully expressed. The tomb of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan is located in the basement of the building. This beauty is worth spending a little more time than just looking throughout the building because the appearance of the building changes with the light at different times of the day. The green lush that surrounds the building is itself so mesmerizing and calming. The reflection of the Taj Mahal on the waters is a delightful site, and it increases the beauty of the mausoleum to some other level.

Built with the ivory white marble, this mausoleum has breathtaking architecture and design on its wall. Being one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal is a site famous all over the world for its history. The love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal was the inspiration of Taj Mahal.

This monument shows the power of love. Love can give you the ability to reach such heights that you had never imagined. It makes you durable and strengthens your self-belief. The love of Shah Jahan for her wife, Mumtaz was so immense and so profound that he got depressed at the death of his beloved wife and thought of his wife’s mausoleum.

Although the monument is getting deteriorated due to pollution, this fantastic masterpiece never fails to charm. This building is a symbol of true love and passion. It has its soul with a story that leaps out of the marble, as long as you understand that this beautiful piece was made out of love.
