On July 7, 2007,the Swiss corporation New7Wonders Foundation has announced that Taj Mahal is one of the New 7 Wonders of The World..

Here are some bare facts associated with it. It took around twenty years for around 20,000 laborers to accomplish this task. This large force of architects and engineers worked upon it with full dedication. The stones which were used to construct the monument were brought from Sri Lanka and Tibet. Another interesting fact about this monument is that the inspiration of Taj was taken from the Humayun's tomb which is situated in Delhi(http://www.linkroll.com/Travel-and-Leisure--301442-The-Story-of-Historical-Monument-Taj-Mahal.html). The Taj Mahal is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles(http://www.propertyinvestmentproject.co.uk/blog/the-taj-mahal-facts-and-myths/)

Ok..Now,we proceed to Liza main point:How to go there?

We got these information from the article written by cashmer

"A trip to this beautiful monument will give you a lifetime experience and would leave with you many cherished long lasting memories. The visitors to Taj can admire its beauty also during the moonlight as it looks the most striking at that time.
Getting here is relatively easy. You fly into India to Delhi. Then take a cab or train to Agra. Three hours by train and about four by cab. If you start out early morning, you will be there by mid day. Take a look around. It will not take more than a couple of hours and drive back to Delhi in the evening. If you want to take in the fort and other local sites you can spend the night and do sightseeing and leather goods shopping at Sadar Bazaar as well."

TAJ MAHAL; WONDER OF THE WORLD

Have you all ever heard about the legendary story behind the building of Taj Mahal by Syah Jehan? I think all of us know it is all based on the true love of Syah Jehan to his wife Mumtaz. In order to proof his true affection, he hired hundred of professional architects to create and design the Taj Mahal according to his desire. Thus, Taj Mahal had become one of the Wonder of the World until now.

Why we chose Taj Mahal among the seven?

First, we want to describe this famous symbol of love. How the story behind this ancient Taj Mahal affects the Indian way of life. Indian really worship love until most of their works were based on love. This phenomenon really attracts us to talk about Taj Mahal. It is not just the awe of the creation but also the affection that the Taj Mahal brings to the Indian culture. We can see India has created many love stories from the poems and their film productions a.k.a Bollywood. Bollywood has come out with abundance of love stories and become a phenomenon to the entire world including Malaysia. Furthermore, their artists also have the echanted beauty that captivated many eyes. Back to the Taj Mahal, the unique architecture of Taj Mahal become the world's most largest visited place of tourism. It is one of the India's famous monument. We have been dreaming we can go and experience the culture by ourself.

Second, for your information, tourist cannot bring any video cam or camera inside the building. Why? Because they want to preserve the mystery inside the building. Thus, everyone will have to go there and experience it by their ownself. Here, we see Taj Mahal not just a symbol of love but also a mysterious place to be discovered.

However, the wonderful story could not stop us from revealing the real story behind this passionate love of a man to his wife. This will be the third reason why we chose Taj Mahal. Behind the pure love, there have been many speculations saying that after the building of Taj Mahal, Syah Jehan had blinded and cut the professional architects of Taj Mahal in order to avoid them from using their skills. In an easy word, he dislike duplication of creations. He just wanted the design exclusive to his dead wife. This is inhumane. Afterall, he was the Sultan of his own country. Because of his cruelty, history has written that he has been prisoned by his own son and the window of the prison face the Taj Mahal .Do you think he deserved that? Well...

Okay, we leave the bad story behind by taking the moral values from this wonder of the world. First, love your love one truly. Second, love others as you love yourself. Lastly, preserved the cultural heritage of your country.

The reason why i choose Taj-Mahal..

Taj Mahal is synoymous with india that is my favourate actress place, Aishwarayai. I like her very much and i impress with her beautiful face and eyes. To people the world, the Taj mahal, mausoleum of mughal Emporeror Shah Jahan's chief wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Its curving, gently swelling dome and the square base upon which its rests so lightly is a familiar image from hundreds of brochures and travel books. The Taj mahal is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular buildings of the world. Renowned for its architectural magnificence and aesthetic beauty, it counts among man' proudest creations and is invariably included in the list of the world's foremost wonders. As a tomb, it has no match upon earth, for mortal remains have never been housed in greater grandeur.

However, in my continuous mysteries to get to the truth and the reason why my group member and i choose Taj Mahal as subtopic in our blog. I have recently acquired some very important document and information. There is evidence that the Taj Mahal was never built by Shah Jahan. Some say the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan by several centuries and was originally built as a Hindu or Vedic temple or place complex. In other hand, people say that Shah Jahan merely acquired it from its previous owner, the Hindu King Jai Singh. That the archeology Survey of India (ASI) has been researching the evidence that proves the Taj Mahal and many other buildings were not of Muslim origin, and that they know this information but remain silent about it.

So, i interested to know it is true Taj Mahal was not built by Shah Jahan to his lovely wife, Mumtaz?. I hope get opporturnity to go India to see Taj Mahal nearly and i can get true information about it there.
