THE TAJ MAHAL

     The Taj Mahal is one of  the most beautiful buildings in the world.It is a  monument built by a Moghul Emperor of India , Shah Jahan , in memory of his beautiful wife who died in 1631. " It  shall be of matchless beauty  beauty,'' he said. ''And it shall be called the Taj Mahal.''

     Shah Jahan decided to build the monument  at the bend of the River Jumna in North India because the view there was magnificent. He summoned the best architects and craftsmen in India and Asia  to build it .Twenty thousand men worked daily on the monument  which was built of white marble .It took them twenty-two years to complete it !

     While the Taj Mahal was under construction , the Emperor thought of another plan.He said,''When I die, I want to be buried in another monument similar to the Taj Mahal .However , it shall be made  of black Marble and built on the other side of the River Jumna ,Opposite the Taj Mahal .A bridge shall be built across the river to join the two monuments.''

    However , this plan was never carried out .When Shah Jahan died ,his son buried him in the Taj Mahal ,together with his Queen. 

     Till today ,the Taj Mahal still stands as beautiful as ever.It is rectangular  in shape and has a high wall round it.In front of the monument .You also will see rows of bright flowers and a long pool.specially built to reflect the monument.

    The tomb chamber of the Taj Mahal is of a simple design .It has two marble cenotaphs which are enclosed by a marble screen, studded with precious stones.Under this chamber lie the bodies of the Emperor and his Queen.
