People who are looking forward to enjoying the one day trip to Agra can choose the Gatimaan express train. Traveling on this train will help the tourist to have a joyful and safe journey like never before. Most people have heard of the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but few people know why it was first built.
In 1631, Mumtaz Mahal, wife of Shah Jahan, passed away. Shah Jahan was distraught and commissioned the building of an enormous, ivory-white marble shrine on the south bank of the Yamuna River — the Taj Mahal. The tribute to his lost love took 22 years to build and he was buried beside her after his death.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the architecture of the mausoleum is awe-inspiring, with precious and semi-precious stones set in the marble. The Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore described the Taj Mahal as the teardrop on the cheek of time and it serves as a reminder of how enduring love can be.
