Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is India's most iconic landmark and one of the world's greatest architectural masterpieces, a white marble mausoleum in Agra built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632-1653 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The perfect symmetry of its domes, minarets, and reflecting pools, set in a formal Persian garden, has made it an enduring symbol of eternal love. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it draws over 8 million visitors annually and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
