Taj Mahal is one of the most fascinating memorials of the world. Regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal is visited by millions of tourists every year who want to rekindle their love and make their relationship eternal in front of the memorial of love. Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal over her graveyard, at the banks of River Yamuna. It is located at Agra, very near to the capital city of India, New Delhi.

If you want to know the real magic of Taj Mahal you must spend a complete day out here. Taj Mahal changes color with every phase of the day and it is said that the changing colors express the changing emotions of Mumtaz Mahal. As the sun kisses the white edifice it glows in soft pink and at afternoon the monument glitters like gold under bright sunshine; under the charming moonlight, Taj Mahal stands as a shining pearl at the backdrop of a blue skyline.

While visitors are allowed in the Taj Mahal complex only for half an hour on full moon nights, days are the best time when you can explore every facet of the monument; from the sprawling gardens to the beautiful calligraphy, from the floral motifs to the gem studded interiors. The Taj Mahal museum can also be visited during day. With its antiques, ancient books and belongings, it showcases the opulent lifestyle of the Mughals.

The best part about a visit to Taj is that you can snap pictures and frame your special moments; photography is not permitted inside the mausoleum. Mobile phones are permitted though you need to keep the same in silent mode. Video photography is allowed for a nominal amount while video photography inside the Taj Mahal complex requires special permission. The list of dos and don’ts are available at the entry gates and it is best to go through them to avoid any hassle.

If you are scared of the scorching sun you can be rest assured as the lines of Cyprus and fruit bearing trees within Taj complex greets you with cool shades. Clean drinking water is available at all the gates of Taj Mahal and the public rest houses at both ends of the monument are quite comfortable.

Shopping is a must at Taj Mahal. The markets surrounding this global tourist destination are treasures of intricate marble works and hand woven carpets. The small marble Taj Mahals are nice souvenirs which you can take back home as a memory of the true Taj Mahal. Shilpagram is another place located very near to Taj Mahal where you can enjoy a shopping fiesta.
Hence unfold the golden aspect of Mughal history at Taj Mahal, where one of the greatest saga of love awaits your presence.
