10Taj Mahal (Agra, India)

The Taj Mahal, an epitome of love and Mughal architecture, stands majestically on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra.

Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum is renowned for its flawless symmetry, intricate carvings, and harmonious proportions.

The central dome, flanked by four smaller domes and surrounded by slender minarets, creates a mesmerizing effect, especially at sunrise and sunset when the marble seems to change color. The Taj Mahal’s beauty is not only in its visual appeal but also in its emotional and cultural significance.
