TAJ MAHAL :
Taj, the icon of India was built by emperor Shahjahan for his beloved wife Arjumand
Bano Begum, popularly known as Mumtaj Mahal, who died in 1630. This sheer poetry
in marble considered by many as the 'eight wonder of the medieval world' is indeed
the most extravagant monument ever made for love. Rabindranath Tagore called it
a 'teardrop glistening on the cheek of time'. A garden laid by Raja Man Singh
of Amber, on the bank of river Yamuna was chosen as the site for building the
Taj. Its construction started in 1632 and about 20000 workers toiled for 17 years
to complete the enchanting mausoleum. This image of Islamic garden of paradise
is said to have costed nearly 41 million rupees and 500 kgs of gold. At sunrise
the marble acquires a delicate pinkish touch, while in the afternoon it flows
in majestic white and in the evening the color turns to a soft pearly grey. On
full moon light the glory of the Taj is at its best under the soft and subdued
moonlight.
