Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal in Agra in India is called the most romantic place in the world. No wonder with its origin and history. Mogul ruler Shah Jahan gave the Taj Mahal as a gift to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal as a proof on his love. The conduct took 11 years – from 1632 to around 1643.
The beautiful palace is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and was named one of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. When the beloved wife of the Mogul ruler died while giving birth to his son, he grieved so much that he decided to build a palace in her memory. The Taj Mahal is surrounded by a beautiful Persian garden, so-called charbagh garden, and is divided into four parts.
The garden around the Taj Mahal is reminiscent of paradise
The purpose of a charbagh garden is to remind you of the gardens of paradise and the sense of paradise, feels tangible when you experience the garden close up. The Taj Mahal is surrounded by a wall. Outside the wall there are additional mausolea over the other wives of the mogul and a grave over his favorite servant. Experience Ranthambore National Park – high cliffs, beautiful lakes and abundant wildlife.
