Answer =>>>>

The Taj at Agra is the most famous historical building in India. It is known all over the world as a dream in marble. It was built by Shah J ah an. the famous Mughal emperor, in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It was built about three centuries ago. More than twenty thousand masons and workers built it in about twenty two years. After the completion of the monument, as the story goes, their hands were chopped off, so that they could not build the pair of the Taj.

During the last three centuries, the glory of the Taj has not dimmed the least. It still commands the first position among the buildings of the world. It stands outside the city of Agra on the banks of river, Yamuna. In order to reach the main building, one has to pass through a huge gateway of red stones. There are symmetrical cypress trees sur­rounding the building.
As soon as a person reaches close to the building, he forgets the world altogether. The mausoleum looks like a fairy dressed in a spotless white attire. On a moonlit night, its beauty penetrates the interstices of mind so as to remain there forever. One really feels that one has never seen such a charming spectacle before. Tagore hails the Taj as “a tear frozen on the cheek of eternity”.

The first time I visited the Taj many years ago, I simply felt captivated. I found numerous Indian and foreign visitors pouring in. Once one approaches the building one feels lost to move away from it. Even if one has to go at last, one feels inclined to visit it again and again.
The Taj is immortal. It may be called beauty concretized in pure white marble and as such a joy forever. But, unfortunately in the present materialistic world, even the beauty of the Taj is at stake because of the effluent sculpture dioxide emitted by the Matura refinery. Let us hope the able scien­tists will do something about it.

"______TAJ MAHAL____



The Taj Mahal is the most magnificent building in India.  It is called ‘one of the seven wonders of the world.”  It was built by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the sweet memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.  Twenty thousand workmen including some European masons worked day and night for twenty years to build it.  It cost the Emperor several crores of rupees.

                I had a keen desire to visit this famous building of the world.  At last the day came when my long-cherished desire turned into reality.  Last year I had an occasion to attend the marriage of a friend of mine.  This gave me a chance to see this master-piece of artistic design.  As I came close to it, I was struck by its unique structure.  It is a marvel in marble.  We went to the underground room where Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal lie buried.  Our minds went back to the times of Shah Jahan when he built this building at a high cost.

                The Taj is surrounded by a cypress garden on three sides. It is situated on the bank of the river Jamuna which lends charm to its beauty.  The surroundings and the garden and lustre to its architecture. The beauty of the Taj beggars description.

                In the moonlit night, its glory and splender become unique.  It is an intoxication and a delight to watch this marvelous feat of workmanship in a full moonlight night. I have seen several buildings but none presents such a glorious view.  It is matchless in beauty.

                Some historians have named it “the crown of the world.”  Someone has rightly called it a ‘poem in marble.’  In short, it is a paradise on earth.  It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.  The crimson rays of the sun at the time of sunset, enhance its beauty and glory.

                My joy knew no bounds on seeing this wonderful building.  Its memory will always remain fresh in my mind. My knowledge about the Taj is now first hand.  It is quite different form the second hand information which I had got from my books.

                I also visited some other historical buildings in Agra Fort.  It is a huge buildings that reminds the visitors of the lofty grandeur and the glory of the great Moghul Kings.  I then went to Fatehpur Sikri where I saw the famous Buland Darwaza, the Panch Mahal and many other buildings. All these magnificent structures made a deep impression on me but there is nothing to match the beauty of the Taj.

                I was reminded of the English lady who, on seeing the Taj, had said to her husband,” If you promise to build a monument like the Taj in my memory, I am ready to die right now.”
