Taj Mahal - Agra
 Taj Mahal - an expression of love and a monument that has been documented in history as a "promise kept" by a true lover, weaves a mystic spell on you the moment your eyes caress this timeless wonder.
Enter the Taj Mahal Complex through a massive and breathtaking gateway built of red sandstone, ornate with marble inlay motifs and calligraphic inscriptions from the Holy Koran. This gateway according to memoirs from the Mughal era leads you to a mausoleum that is a representation of Allah's paradise and a beauteous resting place for the departed.
Built in perfect symmetry, crowned with a delicate looking dome and flanked by elegant minarets in four corners, enchanting Taj Mahal sits pretty with tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan in its bosom in the midst of Char Bagh lawns.
The Taj Mahal is a befitting monument to the memory of "something special and almost divine" that existed between Prince Salim who went on to become Emperor Shah Jahan and Princess Arjumand Bano Begum or Mumtaz Mahal who became Shah Jahan's queen, advisor, friend and soul.
Tour the wonderfully built Mosque and guest house that lie on either side of the Taj Mahal and complete the Char Bagh that itself is a typical Mughal garden ornate with gushing water fountains, delicate watercourses, green lawns and neatly clipped bushes.
The Taj Mahal is of course the most important tour attractions that you visit on your Golden Triangle Tours Highlights tours with Castle and King Golden Triangle North India Tours.
