Default Re: Taj Mahal

hi there,

The Taj Mahal is situated on the bank of the Yamuna River in Agra India. The Taj Mahal was built in honor of the Prince Shah Jahan's third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 14th child.

The Taj Mahal in Agra was constructed in the 17th century and it took around 22 years for the project to be completed. More than 20,000 workers and more than 1,000 elephants were used to transport the marble stone work and carry out the build.

To get the best out of the Taj Mahal experience it is best to visit the site in the morning and evening to appreciate this lovely architecture.

Hope this helps
