Agra is considered as one of the most significant travel destinations in the World Tourism map. The Taj Mahal Tours and the Golden Triangle Tours which includes Delhi, Agra (Taj Mahal) and Jaipur tours are amongst the most preferable tour packages by Indian as well as foreign tourists in India. Taj Mahal is an extraordinary creation dedicated to love. On your tour to Taj Mahal you will be able to know the chronicle of love shared by Mughal emperor Shahjahan and his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. The magnificence and the atmosphere of the Taj Mahal will make your vacation to Taj Mahal very special. The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Mumtaz Mahal was died immediately after giving birth to their 14th child in 1631. After the sudden death of his beloved wife the emperor was shocked, left with a broken heart and his hair turned grey almost overnight. Shah Jahan started the construction of the Taj Mahal in the same year and was not completed until 1653 - even though there are some debates about the accurate date of completion. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, he was also buried here in the Taj Mahal alongside his wife Mumtaz Mahal.Near about 20,000 workers from India and Central Asia worked on the construction of Taj Mahal. Specialists were brought from as far afield as Europe to create the marvelous marble screens and pietra dura (marble inlay work) made with thousands of semiprecious stones. Taj Mahal is portrayed as the most excessive monument ever built for love. The magnificent Taj Mahal is now India"s most ogled icon. According to Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore Taj Mahal is - тЂ˜a teardrop on the face of eternity". The amazing Taj Mahal was declared a World Heritage site in the year 1983 and looks as perfect today as when it was first built - although it is gone through an enormous renovation project in the early 20th century. In an attempt to protect the beauty and freshness of Tal Mahal from pollution, new industrial developments in Agra were banned in 1994, and only nonpolluting vehicles are permitted within 500m of the Taj.
