Taj Mahal - Very Nice
If you are travelling to India, you must visit the Taj Mahal. It is truly one of the new seven wonders of the world.
The Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum, was built by Shah Jahan in 1630 for his queen to enshrine her immortal remains. 20,000 craftsmen from around the world worked 17 years to build this beautiful white marble masterpiece. One is provided with foot covers to enter the building. The surrounding gardens are peaceful and provide a place to relax and reflect on the story behind the Taj Mahal..
The Taj Mahal is amazing as expected of a wonder of the world. It's symmetry is perfect from every side (aside from the tomb of Shah Jahan). The patterns on its walls are made of colorful semiprecious stones and it is surrounded by well kept gardens and trees. If you want, you can have your picture taken on the VIP princess Diana seat.
We recommend going to the back of the Taj where you can take in the beautiful view of the river Yamuna. From there, you can also spot the foundations of the Black Taj (a tomb Shah Jahan was building for himself out of black marble) as well. Also look out for the illusions of the six sided pillars on the Taj which only actually have three sides. We suggest wearing shoes that can be easily removed in-case you want to visit the mosque next to the Taj.
Photography is not permitted inside the tomb.
Although we gave the Taj a rating of 5 stars, there is one tiny problem. That is that the Taj is beginning to go slightly yellow and it is not as white as it used to be. This is probably because of the air pollution. Anyways, that's not too noticeable and definitely not a reason to say no to a visit to this place.
Polluting vehicles are not allowed within a long distance from the Taj although some buggies are provided to take you there for 10 bucks. Beware of people who try to con you. The lines are never super long and the walk to the Taj is not that far. Also, one more important note : don't ride the horses (animal cruelty).
The Taj Mahal is a must visit. It truly is a masterpiece.
A masterpiece of craftsmanship,worth visiting once in a lifetime.
What can you say about the Taj Mahal which hasn’t been said a thousand times before...?
It’s a World must see building and monument to one mans love and loss for his wife.
Shah Jahan lost his wife while away fighting, his wife was with him at the time of her death, so had to be transferred home and buried in a temporary tomb, whilst her main tomb was excavated and the base of the Taj Mahal built on top of her, she’s actually interned beneath the building, and from the front, a good guide will point out the private steps the Shah used to visit her everyday.
The building obviously is built from white marble, not a combination of sandstone and marble like many places in India, inlaid with semi precious stones for detail.
It’s absolutely symmetrical in detail, all the lines are perfectly straight, right from the entrance to the centre of the building.
It’s a huge building, much bigger than you think, but can get ridiculously busy at times, we chose to go about 15.00, most of the tourist coaches have been and gone by then, so it’s much quieter, and sunset is a beautiful time to watch the building change colour, it’s without doubt a magical place to visit, and you see tears in many people’s eyes as they gaze at the Taj, each with their own stories.
One important tip here, for the full story of this place and it’s story, use a good local guide.
