Stop At: Taj Mahal, Agra 282001 India

The foundation for this magnanimous monument was laid in the year 1632 under the orders of Shah Jahan in the fond memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal after her sudden demise. Today it stands as the epitome of love. It is often considered as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich heritage.
Exhibiting Persian and Mughal designs of architecture, this monument is the outcome of the labor of about 20,000 workers. It took nearly 32 years to complete the monument in its entirety. In 1983, it was named the UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts nearly millions of people yearly.
The tomb which is the central figure of the Taj area is where the body of Mumtaz Mhal is laid to rest. Just beside her body, the remains of Shah Jahan are laid down. However, he had to face a lot of criticism and was subject to consequences. There were prophecies against him and the whole idea of the Taj Mahal in general.
The Taj is considered one of the most astonishing and lavish man-made monument in the history of human existence because of its huge stature and the perfection that has gone into getting the final outcome. One can witness scriptures carved on the walls of the monument in Urdu. It has minimalistic things carved meticulously on all the pillars.
The path that leads to the tomb is surrounded by pillars and gardens. The garden is another beautiful sight to the eyes. It is called the Charbagh.
