taj mahal


The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983, stands as a testament to love and architectural magnificence. Commissioned in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this ivory-white marble mausoleum combines elements of Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. It is not only a symbol of India's rich history but also a jewel of Muslim art. The complex includes a mosque, a guest house, and is set within formal gardens, making it one of the most visited sites globally, attracting millions each year.
