2. Taj mahal

3. • Location of Taj Mahal: Agra, India
• Famous As: 7th Wonder of the world
• Taj Mahal Was Built By: Mughal Emperor Shahjahan
• Built In The Memory Of: Mumtaz Mahal
• State: Uttar Pradesh, India
• Temp: Summer - Max – 45 degree centigrade, Winter –
- Min - 4 degree centigrade

4. • The Taj Mahal is made of white marble.
• The height of the Taj Mahal is 75 metres.

5. • An immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between
1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in
memory of his favorite wife ( Mumtaz Mahal), the Taj Mahal is the
jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired
masterpieces of the world's heritage.

6. • The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a
vast Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the
Agra District in Uttar Pradesh

7. • On the east side of the Taj stands the
twin of the Mosque, a parallel structure
also made of red sandstone, referred to
as the jawab, or "answer". Because it faced
away from the Mecca, it was never used for
prayer. Its presence there has always been
something of an enigma. Was it a caravanserai
for pilgrims, or a meeting hall before the
faithful gathered before prayer? More plausible
is the theory that its purpose was purely
architectural, to counterbalance the Mosque and
preserve the symmetry of the entire design on the platform.

8. Taj Mahal, the magnificent monument that stands at the
heart of India has a story that has been melting the hearts of
millions of listeners since the time Taj has been visible. A
story, that although ended back in 1631, continues to live on
in the form of Taj and is considered a living example of eternal
love. It's the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal,
two people from the course of history who set an example
for the people living in present and the future to come.

9. The Taj Mahal is one of
the seven wonders of
the world, and a UNESCO
World Heritage site. The
Taj Mahal was built from
1632-1653 by Mogul
Emperor Shah Jahan in
memory of his wife
Mumtaz Mahal.
The site is one of the most
recognized in all of India.

10. • The story has been told many times – of Shah Jahan’s favorite wife
Mumtaz Mahal,
• who died at the age of 39 when delivering a child and the greif that
then made the Shah immortalize their love by building the “dream
in marble” – 22 years in the making with the help of over 22.000
craftsmen.

11. • The Taj Mahal is one of the most wonderful tourism destinations in
India and is aptly considered one of the greatest wonders of the
world. People all over the world desire to see the grandeur of the
Taj Mahal and only a lucky few get to see this wonder in marble. The
Taj Mahal signifies and glorifies human love, has withstood the test
of time, and still stands in all its glory. Emperor Shahjahan has firmly
put Agra on the travel and tourism map of the world.
