If
you opt for a visit to India
to spend your holidays with
your family or friends, then
we can say without any doubt
that India trip in this country
would remain incomplete without
seeing the Taj Mahal, which
is known to is one of the seven
wonders of the modern world
and to see the Taj Mahal, you
must be at Agra because it is
located in Agra. The Taj Mahal,
which was built by Shah Jahan
(Mughlai emperor) for his beloved
wife Mumtaz Mahal is considered
the finest example in respect
of Mughal architecture is concerned.
Regarding the history of
the Taj Mahal is concerned,
it could be said here that
Emperor Shah Jahan was completely
struck by grief when his wife
Mumtaz Mahal died, while giving
birth to their fourteenth
child, granddaughter. On his
love, Shah Jahan decided to
build the great Taj Mahal
for his wife.
It is also necessary to mention
here that the construction
of the main mausoleum was
completed in the year 1648
and the construction of the
garden and the buildings surrounding
the Taj Mahal has more in
the year 1653.
It should also be noted here
that Shah Jahan spend his
last days in Agra Fort, where
he was forced to stay by his
son and it would simply pass
the time initially by the
Taj Mahal and after his death,
he also been buried in the
Taj Mahal, next to his wife.
At the time of the revolt
of 1857, the Taj Mahal went
through a bad phase that government
officials and soldiers of
the British army cut gems
that have added to the beauty
of the walls of this magnificent
structure. However, in the
late 19th century, Lord Curzon,
one of the viceroys of British
stated that the Taj Mahal,
go under renovation and the
renovation was completed in
the year 1908.
