Taj Mahal Agra Tour

As I sat before the Taj Mahal, it seemed to me much more than a colossal monument. The dazzling white monuments filled me with nostalgia. The engrossing structure of the Taj Mahal boasts of an enthralling beauty, which makes Taj Mahal Agra Tour Excursion a top draw for Indian tourism industry.

The marvellous Mughal architecture of the Taj Mahal stands inimitable till date. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his deceased wife, I could not stop marvelling at every inch of the white tomb. Built as an expression of the love, the beauty of the mausoleum has withstood time to become a true wonder of modern times as well. I came to know, thanks to my Taj Tour India guide, that the Taj Mahal was a result of the craftsmanship of 20,000 ardent labourers for about 20 years.

As I tried to delve deep into the history, my Tajmahal Agra Tours operator helped me to know more about the monument. I came to know the Taj Mahal was built on a Mughal garden, by the River Yamuna, spanning over an area of 300 square meters. Such was the uniqueness of the monument, that, after its completion, the right hand of the chief mason was amputated under Shah Jahan’s order. This was to avoid any other replica of this monument ever.

The architectural brilliance of the Taj Mahal perhaps remains unsurpassed by any other monument in the world. I learnt, thanks to that the raw materials used to build this majestic mausoleum were brought from all over Asia and over 1000 elephants were used to bring these construction materials to Agra. Quite an enormous task it must have been!

I took the help of one of the many agencies providing Tajmahal Agra Tour Excursion In India to know the nuances of Taj Mahal at its best. My Agra Tour Excursion will surely remain one of my life’s best trips and the most memorable one as well.
