Essay on visit to a historical place in 200 words
Answers
Answer:
We went to see the great Taj Mahal on the banks of the river Yamuna. It surely is a ‘wonder of the world’ as it is beyond any description. Words would fall short to describe this “Symbol of Eternal Love”. It is beautifully decorated with precious and carved stones. It is built in the memory of Shah Jahan’s beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
The real tomb of the queen lies in a small room downstairs made of white and black marbles. Scriptures and verses from the Quran are engraved on the walls along with lovely floral designs and different coloured carved precious stones.
Its overall architectural brilliance is still a question for modern builders and architects. They get really surprised to see the fullproof plan of the Taj Mahal built at the time when technology was not that much advanced. It’s extra-ordinary beauty also made us utter ‘Waah Taj!’ However, just one thing that pinched me was how recklessly people have ruined this historic beauty. But our government has taken the right step at the right time by relocating the factories far off from the Taj Mahal. It was thus an overall enriching and enlightening experience to visit these places.
It is really a ‘dream in marble’ as thousands of poets have attempted to describe it in many ways. One gets speechless on seeing this great spectacle of marble. It was an extremely mesmerising trip.
Since then Agra and Fatehpur Sikri have become my favourite destination to spend my vacations. I am now eagerly waiting for another chance to visit Agra.
