TAJ MAHAL




This is Week Three.
It is all about Photo's and Images .

Help people make their photos available to the people who matter to them and enable new ways of organizing photos .

I choose to write about Taj Mahal.

Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. It was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and queen Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India. Taj Mahal was constructed over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of 32 Million Rupees . Taj Mahal (meaning Crown Palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber. The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble.The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon .
