Taj Mahal tour India

 Taj Mahal India  is a rare monument ever made in history. In fact, the time, the energies, and the intellect spend on it makes it a rare phenomena. Above all, every effort sprang from deep inside the hearts of its creators thus rendering it a stature that goes simply beyond imagination.
Taj  Mahal City
As we witness the glorious Taj Mahal, we find that its beauty cannot be subjected to expression. Indeed, every bit of this glorious monument is unique and compelling. Be it the corridors, walls, passages, gardens, or simply the plank on which it stands, Taj Mahal is simply glorious and appealing in its existence.
Visiting Taj Mahal
Although, there is no dearth of buildings around us, yet Taj Mahal, seen from any distance, has never seemed like a building and that is where we can ascribe it the status of other worldliness. In fact, that is what makes this rare monument all the more significant and worthwhile from beauty point of view.

That is what makes it simply magical even.The other point, one that may be called as rational, makes Taj Mahal glorious is the fact that the time spend on the making of it went beyond twenty years. Just imagine a building coming up and that too involving stones and gems with more than 20000 workers working day in and day out for more than 20 years. Now that is something incredible.
Taj Mahal History
The element of rarity that Taj Mahal boasts is not only confined to the years and number of workers only. If we ponder keenly, we find that the intentions behind the making of it are pure and immaculate. Just imagine an emperor blind in love with his wife wishes to give her a tribute in the form of a monument. Now that is where the secret of beauty of Taj Mahal lies.

No matter, the wife of Shah Jahan died but Mumtaz Mahal was so dear to his husband that he decided to come up with a monument that was set to change the paradigms of architectural beauty.

Taj Mahal was built and even till date, its beauty speaks in volumes. It will not be an exaggeration to state this magical monument ephemeral, since there is no dearth of other worldly elements present in it.

For those who are keen architects, this monument is simply an amazing treat. Just right in geometrical sense from every point of view, Taj Mahal is more beautiful as it looks. In fact, that is why poets have praised it, people have visited it, and it has stood the test of times. What's more, many have described this great monument as the representative of paradise on earth.

So, one can imagine the audacity of love that vibrates from its every bit.

Taj Mahal is glorious and it is right when we connect this great monument with other worldliness because we know that it is not only difficult but impossible to witness the making of it in times to come.

The Taj Mahal-Temple of Love

It was during the mid-term school holidays of 1989 (October), when I visited my aunt at Delhi that I first got a chance to see the Taj Mahal and as I was just a kid then, I knew Taj Mahal as a mere monument of historical importance since I had seen it in pictures in some of the books as well as on television.I distinctly remember that there was this video song telecasted, “Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, Toh Sur Bane Humara” (When roughly translated it means, “When my and your voice meet, it becomes our voice”…depicting the importance of Unity in Diversity) sung by Pandit BhimSen Joshi that would come up on Doordarshan every morning and evening (even at noon I guess!) at a scheduled time and that video did show the Tajmahal in the background of one of the shots!
But then, there was a kind of excitement when I got to see it right in front of my eyes. And since I was young at that time, I now have very few and bleak memories of how I would have reacted seeing the magnificient monument! May be I would have run across the gorgeous gardens and fiddled with the sprinking water of the fabulous fountains…May be..I am just lost in thoughts!And as advertising in Televisions boomed, Taj Mahal was being overwritten in my mind on a daily basis. With me then being an avid fan of the idiot box, every now and then Mr. Zakir Hussain appeared in this advertisement of Brooke Bond’s brand of TajMahal tea bags with his customary tagline of, “Wah Taj!”.
“Wah Taj!” it was for me too! Taj Mahal India Tours
And even Yanni, a Greek Composer and Pianist of world repute didn’t miss to capitalise on an opportunity to perform live at a concert with the Taj at the background as India was getting ready to celebrate its 50th Independence Day in 1997.
And there were sad moments too.
Taj Mahal was criticized for its surroundings being not maintained clean as the Yamuna river flowing behind it was used as a dump yard for the chemical and other waste products.
Also it was very much in news for being a soft target for terrorists who wanted to make an impact of their presence in India by attacking at a place where it would hurt the most!
Yet amidst all these controversies and happenings, Taj Mahal has managed to stand tall, thereby etching India on the world map as well as making an impact on the tourism front.
Fortunately I had an opportunity to visit the Taj again in 2009 along with my colleagues and this time I had the Taj in my mind as a monument of love (Ya…I had come of age! ;) ) but was very much amazed looking at the architectural content both inside and outside of the monument. It was breath-taking!
TajMahal is now among the 7 wonders of modern world and for the marvellous wonder that it is, it deserves its place rightfully.If you want to visit this historical site Golden triangle tours is the best option
