Taj Mahal
Uttar Pradesh
Rising gracefully on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, the Taj Mahal is an eternal symbol of love and a crowning glory of Mughal architecture. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this 17th-century white marble mausoleum captivates with its perfect symmetry, delicate pietra dura inlays, and grand Persian-style gardens. Built between 1631 and 1648, the monument blends Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles, making it one of the most universally admired masterpieces in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Taj Mahal stands not just as a tomb, but as a timeless ode to undying love and artistic excellence.
