The Taj Mahal, India's most famous tourist attraction, attracting more than 2 million visitors per year. Many architectural wonders are less impressive as you might expect, but the Taj Mahal is one of the most astonishing piece of art i've ever seen. The perfectly molded white marble stones give it its beauty and elegance.
According to "Wikipedia" - the Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." While the white domed marble mausoleum is its most familiar component, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. Building began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, and employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen.
