TAJ MAHAL is my one of the lovely historical building.. As
this style combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian
architectural styles.
"the
jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of
the world's heritage"
TAH MAHAL began to construct around 1632 and was completed
around 1653. The construction of the
Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision,
including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.
* It is special because it is one of the seven wonders of the world which has a
lot of tourist...
* The Taj Mahal is special because a ruler
i India dedicated the building to his wife..
* Shah Jahan presented Maharajah Jai Singh with a
large palace in the center of Agra in exchange for the land.
* Its beauty which lies on the bank of
river Yamuna .Glittering marvel which is used to make this tomb know as the
"Symbol of Love" are placed in such a way that from every angle it
looks beautiful. A series of gardens and gateways, an inn
and a mosque..
We should thank to Baadshah Shah Jahan.....
