Taj Mahal has always been an epitome of love and known world over as a symbol of eternal love. I always wanted to visit Taj Mahal as it is one of eight wonders of world.
The experience at Taj Mahal is that of awe! I was in awe of this monument. The more time I spent there the more I was fascinated. It left me wondering about the amount of details that were planned and the sheer amount of work that must have been put in to get this outcome. In awe!
There is a clear plan to make the visit an unforgettable experience. It starts from the travel to the city, bad roads, rude drivers, slow moving traffic and the narrow crowded lanes leading to the Taj Mahal. All of that and much more will force you to drop your expectations to ground.
As you enter the complex an old structure welcomes you and nudges you towards the grand entrance gate. This is where you start witnessing the grand scale of the monument. The gate in itself is a piece of art; the engravings on the gate itself are enough to keep you engaged for a day!
You don't get even a glimpse of the Taj Mahal till this point. You get to see it for the first time as you enter the gate. The white marble covered marvel welcomes you and the awe starts to set in. And it keeps getting deeper as you move closer to the monument.
If you think of it, Taj Mahal is just a tomb but the amount of work that has been done on presentation creates that awe factor!
The tomb is covered by the beautifully designed white marble covered dome. Then there are carvings and designs on all the walls of this dome. The windows are covered with majestically designed marble mesh. Then to add beauty to the dome there are four pillars or minars around the dome. To make it stand out the whole structure is put on a pedestal. Then there are gardens in front to sit and admire this creation. There are water fountains that add to the beauty!
The beauty is in the details! Taj Mahal!! In awe!!!
