Morning is the best time to visit Taj Mahal, in all seasons. During hot summers of India, this is the time when you can have the best sight without getting tired of the heat. During winters, the cool breeze passing over the River Yamuna makes your experience even more enjoyable. And during monsoons, the lush greenery around the Taj gives you best of the mornings.
Taj Mahal, a monument that has already been said and written about, is a wonderful monument built on the banks of River Yamuna. The history of Taj goes approx. 400 years back when Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan decided to build a monument for his beautiful wife Mumtaj Mahal who died while giving birth to their 14th child. Over 20,000 people were employed for 22 years, resulting in the most beautiful monument on Earth.
Taj Mahal is often called the “Symbol of Love” and is counted among the “Seven Wonders of the World” for its unbelievable architecture. A central tomb, surrounded by four huge minarets, houses the graves of the Emperor and the Queen. The entire premise is covered by a beautiful garden called Char-Bagh pattern. And in the backyard is flowing River Yamuna, making the corridor a beautiful place to spend some time at.
Spend some time here, appraising the beauty of Taj, before heading to our next destination, the Agra Fort.
