guest house in Agra near the city centre. We were advised for early morning
start for sightseeing tour of the Taj Mahal. Early morning start is suitable
for hassle-free sightseeing of the Taj Mahal in a peaceful environment. The
fairness of the Taj Mahal is beautifully amplified at sunrise time and
mesmerises everyone with changes in its colour. This beautiful tomb was
constructed on behalf of Shah Jahan as a last tribute to the untimely demise of
his beloved Begum Mumtaz Mahal.T his majestic building is insignia of immortal
love plus close bonding between two lovers and a special tribute to the death
of his queen Mumtaz Mahal. The pristine marble used for the construction of the
Taj Mahal was brought from the Makrana (query), using a fleet of more than 11,000
elephants. Twenty thousands craftsmen infused their time and thick sweat into the
construction of this majestic edifice, situated on the right bank of the river
Yamuna with its impregnable foundation.
