Taj Mahal at Agra, the most beautiful monument in our country, India, is a symbol of love and romance. Shah Jahan, the moghul emperor had it built in memory of his beautiful wife, Mumtaz.
I had always wanted to make a vist to this great monument at least once in my lifetime. And the opportunity came last summer, when we made a trip to the north. We had a hectic trip to get to the Taj Mahal, and after a lot of struggle in getting an entry ticket and standing in long queues we finally managed to get in the gateway just before dusk set in. The sight of Taj Mahal was definitely worth all the trouble. We got to see the beauty of this great monument in the light of dusk. It's beauty was past compare. The feelings that the sight generates can not be described in words. Every man and woman who ever felt love and romance must visit Taj to experience it. Here are some pictures we took.
Taj mahal is one destination that most foreign dignitaries, visiting India for the first time, make to without fail. Some of the famous people who have come here are Princess Diana, Bill Clinton, even the Pakistani President General Musharraf,etc....
