View the Taj Mahal by Moonlight
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India,
that was built under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.The
Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered as the finest example
of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian,
Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural
styles. In 1983, Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage
Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim
art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the
world's heritage."While the white domed marble mausoleum is most familiar, Taj Mahal is an integrated complex of structures
and was completed around 1648. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri is generally considered as the principal designer of Taj Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is considered one of the most romantic monuments in the world. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan after the death of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum is considered a monument to eternal love.
