It is also considered a symbol of love and millions of tourists come to see it every year. It looks even more attractive because of the unique architecture, white marble texture and on the banks of the Yamuna River. 02 Mughal -Keiser Shah Jahan built this large building in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Mumtaz Mahal died while giving the 14th child, and the Taj Mahal in his memory began in 1632. About 20,000 artists, craftsmen and laborers have worked hard for 22 years to complete this incredible building. 03 white marble from Rajasthan, Z Stone from South India and precious jewelery from countries such as Türkiye, Afghanistan and China were searched for the construction of Taj Mahal. This is a unique example of mughal architecture. 04 Taj Mahal has a total of 22 rooms built under the main grave. They were closed during the Mughal government. They were last opened for inspection in 1934, but since then they have not been reopened. In 05 2022, a petition was filed with the court to investigate these 22 chambers of Taj Mahal, but the court rejected it. According to the BBC report, these rooms are part of the basement of the Taj Mahal. 06 Taj Mahal opens every day at 06:00 and closes at 18:30. The entry of tourists was prohibited after 18:30. Lights are not used here at night as they attract insects and sticks to the marble walls, which damage the beauty of the Taj Mahal and also cause damage to tiles due to air pollution. Since 07 1997, the use of lights has been completely banned at night for safety reasons. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) released a report in this regard. The government kept in mind the cleaning and safety of the Taj Mahal. Tourists traveling to Taj Mahal should have important knowledge. 08 tourists are allowed to enter every day from 06:00 to 18:30. The Taj Mahal remains closed every Friday, because the day is reserved for prayer. Tourists in particular are allowed to enter the full moon night. The entrance fee for Indian citizens is £ 50, while £ 1100 for foreign tourists. 09 The main tomb of Taj Mahal is completely underground. The mughals used a special architecture style to strengthen the basis of this building on the banks of River Yamuna. The Taj Mahal shines in white in the day, in the evening in red color and the moonlight at night appears in blue. After the end of the Mughal regime, the Taj Mahal was attacked in the British period and the precious jewelery present in it was looted. 10 Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and spirituality, is one of the rare creations of the world. With unique beauty, great architectural skills and historical importance, this building will always remain an excellent work of human art. To experience its beauty, everyone must visit Taj Mahal!
