Taj Mahal is the most beautiful building in the world. It is not only architectural beauty even this is "the epitome of love", "a monument of immeasurable beauty". The beauty of this magnificent monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words because this is built by the emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his wife Mumtaz, who died in childbirth. It is the best example of love and Mughal architecture. a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. It is completed near about 21 years and made by white marbles and around this beautiful gardenand Standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous with love and romance. Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj Mahal in these words:
Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.
Really Taj Mahal is glory of India.
