Eternal Love

Now, bring you to the eternal love of charming wonder in the world.The Taj Mahal is a magnificent white marble mausoleum built between 1632 and 1653 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India and spans over 42 acres. 

The Taj Mahal is more than just the greatest architectural achievement in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture; it is a symbol of love, loss and grief. Shah Jahan ordered the mausoleum’s creation in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during the birth of their 14th child.

Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble and it is set against the plain across the river and it is this background that works its magic of colors that, through their reflection, change the view of the Taj. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and dusk.

As a monument for enduring love, the Taj reveals its sophistication when one visits it with leisure. The rectangular base of Taj is in itself symbolic of the different sides from which to view a beautiful woman. The main gate is like a veil to a woman’s face which should be lifted delicately, gently. In indian tradition the veil is lifted gently to reveal the beauty of the bride. As one stands inside the main gate of Taj, his eyes are directed to an arch which frames the Taj.
