Trip to Taj Mahal

We woke up early and we left Delhi around 6 am to see the most recognisable structures in the world. We went by cab which was not the cheapest possibility but as far we didn't have any car we didn't have an other choice. The journey was great. We crossed Haryana which is the most developed state of India and Uttar Pradesh which is one of the poorest and dirtiest state. So I saw the huge differences. On the way we stopped at Dhaba which is a traditional Indian motel without bed so we had breakfast there which was really flavoured.

And than at 11 am finally we arrived to Agra which city is situated on the bank of Yamana. And the site of Taj MAhal.
To get in to the Taj Mahal from Agra we took a local taxi which means there camel or riksa.
It took 10 min to get to the most beautiful building in the world and than because I am not Indian I had to pay 750 Rps which sounds much compare to 20 Rps the fee for Indian. Anyway I didn't care about it. So we went in.

The first impression about a symbol of eternal love, TAj MAhal was indefinable.
The huge marvellous monument which is the symbol of eternal love is glamorous. There aren't any words to describe it.
And than we had a giude there who told us eve
rything about the building and history.

Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles.

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1631 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.

You can see 22 towers on the gate of Taj MAhal because it took 22 years to build it.There are lot pof stories about TAj MAhla which I will not write down here in this blog but it is unbelievable how everything especially the numbers connecting to each other.It was built by Mughal emperor Shan Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Matal It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and stands as a symbol of eternal love. We spend there at least 3 hours just wondering.

The dream has came true :)
