Taj Mahal is one of the most stunning structures in the world, built completely of white marble in the 17th century. Every year, more than the whole population of Agra passes through the majestic gates in order to see this amazing masterpiece! The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that means "Crown of Palaces" in Persian. The tomb is rectangular in design and is entered by a large doorway with an arch and alcoves on both sides. The entryway has water channels and fountains, making the monument even more magnificent. The Yamuna's reflection of this magnificent sight is almost poetry in its beauty! The Taj Mahal was built on a 42-acre plot of land in 1631, and it took 17 years to finish in 1648! It was built with white marble from the Rajasthani town of Makrana. Taj Mahal Same Day Tour Package is a great option to explore this wonder.

Inside Taj Mahal

Shah Jahan created the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631 while giving birth to their 14th child. The emperor was devastated by her death, and his hair is reported to have gone grey overnight. The Taj Mahal's construction began in 1632. The main structure took eight years to finish, while the entire complex took until 1653 to complete. Shah Jahan was deposed by his son Aurangzeb and imprisoned in the Agra Fort shortly after the building was completed. He would only be able to see his magnificent work through a window for the rest of his life. After Shah Jahan's death in 1666, his mortal bones were interred here with Mumtaz. Across 20,000 individuals from all over India and Central Asia contributed to the construction of this remarkable structure. The exquisite marble screens and marble inlay (pietra dura), which is constructed of thousands of semi-precious stones, were created by specialists sent in from as far as Europe. UNESCO listed the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site in 1983. It still looks as good as it did when it was built. In the early twentieth century, the monument received extensive renovation. Make sure that you visit this magnificent beauty in your Same Day Agra Tours.

Taj Mahal Garden

One of the most impressive aspects of visiting Taj Mahal during Same Day Taj Mahal Tour is the garden that surrounds the monument of love, stretching from the entrance to the base of the tomb. Babur introduced the concept of this park (popularly known as Paradise Garden), which was developed in the Persian Timurid style. The use of the number four and its multiples was a distinctive feature used in the creation of this garden. This was done because the number four is regarded the holiest in Islam. The lovely garden is divided into four sections, with two marble waterways in the centre flanked by fountains. The garden is divided into quarters, each with 16 flowerbeds containing 400 plants. The Taj Garden is rich with trees, chattering birds, fruits, flowers, and symmetry, all of which represent the abstract idea of paradise. This charming environment is ideal for capturing those perfect moments. Do visit the Taj Mahal Garden in your Taj Mahal Tour Package.
