Known as the symbol of love built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. Entirely built of white marble, its stunning architectural beauty is beyond adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj Mahal (meaning Crown Palace) is in fact a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber.
The Taj Mahal was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 Million Rupees. The construction documents show that its master architect was Ustad ‘Isa, the renowned Islamic architect of his time. The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and symmetry of architectural elements.
You will have 2 hours to enjoy this romantic place.
