There are many beautiful and worth seeing historical places in India. But the Taj Mahal of Agra is the most beautiful of all. It is a dream in marble. My friend and I visited that in the last summer vacations. The vision cast a spell over me. It stood in unique majesty. What a fine lay out indeed! This is what one could say on the spot. It looked white on all sides. The green tufts of glass and the green shoots of hot Cyprus trees adorned its majestic beauty. Nature’s beauty made the ground of the building look all the more beautiful.
We went down the staircase. We found the graves of the king and the queen under the dome in a dark chamber. Multicolored pieces of glass and couplets form the Quran decorated the side walls. The four minarets stood as watch men at each of the main building.
A full moonlight followed the next day. We visited the Taj again that night. Its beauty smiled in the silvery light of the moon. It was a memorable scene. My joy knew no bounds when I saw its reflections in the river Jamuna. Clear picture of marble could be seen. I closed my eyes and opened them again to find it was a reality. Nay! It was to a dream.
As god is there to bestow nature’s beauty, man’s hand is there to create wonderful pieces of art and architecture. How could man be so perfect in working out the minute details of art? I am full of wonder even now. And I can still see the beauty of the Taj with my mind’s eye, if at all I desire so. Wheat a great beauty man could create!
The Taj Mahal was built about three hundred and fifty years ago by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his beloved queen, Mumtaj.

To know history more one should visit historical buildings. It gives us the knowledge of the period and age in which it was built. We know more about the kings who made them, rather than reading in the books. Of all the places none has impressed me so much as the Taj Mahal at Agra. I can easily call it a love poem in the marble. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan, in the living memory of his queen, Mumtaz Mahal. It stands on the right bank of the river Yamuna at Agra. It is built of pure white marble and looks magnificent on a full moon night. Once the Taj Mahal was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Still it is one of the most beautiful buildings of the world. One day with my uncle I wished to see the building. We saw the view of the Taj Mahal from the train at a distance. It looked grand and impressive. We went on a rickshaw. We saw the gate of the building. It was very high and beautiful. It is made of red stone. It is called Buland Darwaja.
We now saw the Taj from there. It was a white building made of white marble. We went by paths made of marble slabs. Between these paths there were cistens and fountains. Fish of all colours leaped about in them. There we saw lawns and trees on both the sides.
The Taj is built on a high terrace made of marble. We climbed a few steps and saw the big terrace in the centre of which stands the Taj. There are four high towers at the four corners. Now I saw the beauty of the Taj. I never thought of so. There are verses from Quran written in black mosaic at the three sides of the gate. It is really a great work of art. I was puzzled to see its greatness and glory.
