Wonderful
By Ginglee, 5/5/07
The Taj Mahal (Urdu: تاج محل, Hindi: ताज महल) is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. The Mughal Emperor Shāh Jahān commissioned it as a mausoleum for his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648. Some dispute surrounds the question of who designed the Taj Mahal; it is clear a team of designers and craftsmen were responsible for the design, with Ustad babalaqua Lahjauri considered the most likely candidate as the principal designer.[1] The Taj Mahal (sometimes called "the Taj") is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as a "universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."[1]

Unbelievably beautiful
By WomenRPeople2, 2/16/07
The pictures don't do this monument justice. From a distance, a pristine white marble building. Up close, incredibly delicate carvings and inlay work (jasper, emeralds, mother of pearl, lapis, malachite and jade). You won't want to leave.

Great!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/25/06
The monument is simply beautiful and no enough words can explain its true splendor and magnificence. Aura of the construct is still very much intact 500 years later and the monument symbolises true love.
