Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal
This is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the South bank of the Yamuna River in the Indian city of Agra and really needs no introduction. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. I was there with the sunrise, which is best time to see the majestic complex. You should spend there at least three hours to see most a of it and to get a good overview what this place really is.
