The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India.
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned it as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648. Some dispute surrounds the question of who designed the Taj Mahal; it is clear a team of designers and craftsmen were responsible for the design, with Ustad Ahmad Lahauri considered the most likely candidate as the principal designer.
The Taj Mahal (sometimes called "the Taj") is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as a "universally admired masterpiece of the world's heritage.-

Taj Mahal, besides its exquisite beauty, called as a poetry in marble, is the only structure that keeps reminding you how much 2 people can love each other. There are songs and stories of eternal lovers like romeo and juliet, salim -anarkali, devdas--paro, but this monument just speaks for itself. Each beautifully carved piece tells you how much adoration was there, how much love was there between Shahjahan and Mumtaz Mahal. It is an everlasting monument dedicated to love that almost can be said to be divine.

Taj to me is not just another monument. Taj to me spells LOVE. It is beautiful expression of love carved in a monument.
It is a like a living ( if I can use that word ) testiony of love.
Seeing Taj gives you a sense of the grandeur that once existed in India.
It's India's pride. It feels good when I hear people talking of it in glowing terms.

Best possible man made structure in the world.
Once you see it and enjoy it, you can never forget it in whole life. Even if you reborn you would remember that in your previous life you had seen Tajmahal.
