Taj Mahal

New Delhi, India

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its intricate inlay work features semi-precious stones, and the expansive gardens accentuate its symmetrical design, reflecting Mughal architectural grandeur. Visiting early in the morning provides the clearest light and fewer crowds, allowing for a more contemplative experience. The site is located in Agra, about 210 kilometres from New Delhi, and is often combined with visits to the Agra Fort and the bustling markets nearby, which enhance the historical context.
