A Visit To Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. It is a very beautiful monument. It is the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, the Chief Queen of the Emperor Shahjahan. It was built by the emperor in memory of his beloved queen.

Taj is built on the bank of Yamuna river at Agra. It is made of white marble. It is work of art. When sun shines on the white marble, the Taj shines like silver.

Last month, my uncle paid us a visit and we went to Agra to see the Taj. We went in our uncle's car.

Like Delhi, Agra is also a historical city. Besides Taj, there are more historical buildings like the Old Fort, Sikri and Itmadulah. But Taj is the most beautiful building.

There is big garden in front of the Taj with a canal made of white marble. There are flowers on both sides of the path. We went down and saw the tombs of Mumtaz and Shahjahan. We did not climb up to watch the river which flows quietly by its side.

The place was full of tourists from all corners of the world. They come to see the Taj. Some come to see the Taj on the full moon night. We spent quite a long time at the Taj.

Next, we went to see the fort and tried to peep at the Taj through a window. There are many shops near the gate selling beautiful things.

We had a nice time at Taj and came back to Delhi by car. I think every Indian should go to Agra to see the Taj. I hope to go there again.
