A TRIP
TO AGRA
Agra is a
very charming city, covering a wide landscape and major areas engraved with
wonderful monuments built in the dynasty of Mughal emperors, everlasting
monuments built in the 17th century spread on all sides. TAJMAHAL, the 6th
wonder of the world is situated in the basin of Yamuna.
Do you
know how many years took to complete the world-famous love icon TAJMAHAL. It
took around 20 years to complete the mahal and 20000 workers were put their
efforts day and night to complete the beautiful monument. There were 1000 elephants to transport materials. This monument is
completely built with Marble.
The
charm of TAJMAHAL after having passed nearly five decades is still there.
It has
been proved over the years that the love of great emperor Shajahan with his
wife Mumtas is never ending as it is evident from the existence of the
Tajmahal.
It is
kept as a treasure without lossing its niche and glory all these years is very
big leap and is an excellent example of exemplary architectural potent.
After
its inception in the 17th century have proved beyond doubt that the nostalgic
monument TAJMAHAL has never step down
from its current status and there was no other monument to give it a tough
competition has proved down the years.
Shahjahan,
the Mugal emperor is to be acclaimed for his talent and fostering mentality and the pains he took to complete the mahal in time. An ordinary man cannot do this but only a person who is having great will power and substantial amount of motivation only will be able to meet the targets within the prescribed time limit.
He has
done a wonderful job for the tourists from all over the world, who are visiting
the monument regularly to enjoy their leisure time inside this invaluable

is no negative thought about his love towards his Begum Mumtas but he has been the one and only
to build the everlasting sumptuous monument in the greeting memory of his wife
which will last till centuries.
