Visiting Taj Mahal, the greatest epitome of love built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan on the banks of river Yamuna is the finest thing to do in Agra. This aesthetically sound ivory- marble mausoleum is the creation of workmen from around the empire and even Iran, who lost their thumbs after its construction to confirm its uniqueness. Starstruck already? If not, you will be once you pay it a visit.

The original inspiration behind the Taj is this Mausoleum built by the Queen of Jahangir, Noor Jahan. It was the very first edition to the marble creations of the Mughal Empire. If some peaceful time is what you crave for then cherishing this marble mosaic with local and Mughal architecture will be the idyllic evening for you.

The much-loved place of the Mughals is now one of the best world’s heritage sites in India. This is the only Mughal palace-city-complex with inspirations taken from Hindu and Jain architecture. Eye-popping attractions to this complex are many including Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Ibadat Khana (House of Worship), Panch Mahal, Birbal’s house and Hiran Minar.
