Taj Mahal is not just the piece of architecture, it is the living monument, which is counted as one amongst the 'Seven Wonders of the World'.
Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaj – Taj is undoubtedly the most ravishing of the world. It is generally considered as the master of Mughal architecture, a style that that is mixture of Indian, Islamic and Persian craftsmanship.
The Taj sits on the square marble platform adorned with the glaring minrates at each corner. If you carefully look at each one of these minrates, you will come to now that they are actually leaned out slightly so that they won't fall on the main complex due to th earthquake. Each side of the Taj Mahal has a giant arch and is beautified with th ornate carvings of the flowers inlaid with the pietra -dura mosaics of the semi precious stones and the elegant calligraphy from the holy book of Koran.
The most evocative views of the Taj Mahal can be experienced during the sunrise, when the light change over from the cold hazy blue to any variation of pale gold, orange or skinny pink. Taj changes its colors during the different hours of the day and during different seasons. The sunset view of the Taj Mahal is 'simply wow'.
