Taj Mahal - An Earthly Creation of Celestial Archetypes

A tear-drop on the cheek of time” Rabrindranath Tagore

If you think that you know all about the Taj Mahal, you need to reconsider your opinion. This great monument, of all times, is not confined to the usual interpretations such as Shah Jahan's spectacular monument to his dead wife, a national icon, or the most revered places in the world. Stepping in this monument amidst the grandeur takes your breath away.

Going into the Taj certainly gives you a varied experience and it will not be exaggeration to state that it represents spiritual hauteur, taking you out of this world for sure.

Even amidst the modern environmental atrocities, Taj influences and enchants the imagination and elevates the spirits.



It is not surprising that the Taj Mahal beauty is so powerful that it has attracted a wide array of celebrities from all corners of the world. Be it Jim Carry, Aishwarya Rai, or anyone for that matter, Taj exerts greater influence and calls everyone in its vicinities.

What makes Taj Mahal fascinating is that it stands on the bank of River Yamuna. Now that is something, which gives it more prominence. You will be mesmerized to witness the Taj rising on a high red sandstone base, which is supported by a huge white marble terrace.

The workmanship is so exquisite that it is said that "having been designed by giants and finished by jewellers".
Taj colours change at different hours of the day and it continues through seasons as well.
