I visited it only once . it is so beautiful ...
The Taj Mahal is a monument located in
Agra, India, constructed between 1631
and 1654 by a workforce of 22,000.
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan
commissioned its construction as a
mausoleum for his favourite wife,
Arjumand Bano Begum, who is better
known as Mumtaz.
The Taj Mahal (sometimes called "the
Taj") is generally considered the finest
example of Mughal architecture, a style
that combines elements of Persian,
Indian and Islamic.
The Taj Mahal has achieved special note
because of the romance of its inspiration.
While the white domed marble mausoleum
is the most familiar part of the
monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an
integrated complex of structures.
