Taj Mahal ( Symbol of Love)

We invite you to visit the beauty of Agra’s Taj which is the pride of India. While the Taj Mahal is a crowded attraction, many of the visitors are Indians travelling within their own country. You'll have the opportunity to get to mingle with friendly Indian families, which may just be a highlight of your visit. We truly enjoyed our visit to the Taj Mahal, there are a few things we wish we would have known before arriving in Agra. he Taj Mahal a marvel on marble was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in commemoration of his favourite wife, Empress Mumtaz Mahal. Shah Jahan married Arjumand Bano Begum (Mumtaz Mahal), granddaughter of Itimad-Ud-Daula, the Wazir (Prime Minister) of Emperor Jahangir in 1612 AD. Mumtaz Mahal died in 1631 A.D. at the birth of her 14th child. The grief-stricken emperor made all efforts in building the tomb in her memory, which is universally acknowledged as one of the most beautiful creations on earth.

Artisans were requisitioned from all over the empire including Central Asia and Iran. While bricks for the internal framework were locally made. White marble for external surfaces was brought from Makrana, Rajasthan. The inscription on the northern facade records 1057A.H. (1647A.D.) as the date of its completion in 17 years. It is believed that Ustad Ahmad Lahori was the chief of the project while Ustad Isa Afandi prepared the site plan of the Taj Mahal. Amanat Ali Khan Shirazi is known for his calligraphic work and Ran Mal was the garden designer from Kashmir. After the sightseeing of Taj Mahal, we will go to visit Agra Red Fort. It is also a beautiful monument of Same Day Agra Tour .
