TAJ MAHAL

TAJ MAHAL is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh on the South Bank of river Yamuna and it is one of the seven wonders of the world,for reasons more than just looking magnificent.

It is made up of ivory white marble.It's the history of Taj Mahal that adds a soul to its magnificence.A soul that is filled with love,loss,remorse and love again.

''It is an example of how deeply a man loved his wife,that even after she died remained  as a memory. ,he made sure that this memory should never fade away by presenting this wonder.''

This man was the mughal emperor shah Jahan ,who was head-over-heels in love with Mumtaj,his dearest wife.Her name was Arjumand banu begum before marriage.

''The construction of Taj Mahal was started in the year 1631 and it took approximately 22 years for building it. .It was finally completed in the year 1653.The height of the Tajmahal is 73 meters (240 ft).''

Taj Mahal attracts 7 to 8 million visitors in a year.

This 7th wonder of the world facing the major threats.Recently cracks appeared in parts of the tomb,because of a decline in the groundwater level in the Yamuna river basin.

The monument were showing signs of tilting, as the wooden foundation of the tomb may be rotting due to lack of water. though tajmahal was built by sahajan it has many contradiction on its part some people will say it was built by labours it seems like open ended question it dosent have clear clarity.
