TAJMAHAL the name itself churns up so many emotions in me, as if it is a melancholy poetry written in marble. A monument of love built not by an emperor, but by a loving husband for his beloved wife. I cannot explain the elaborate and exquisite architectural features of this World Wonder, all I can do is try to express what I was going through... I was dumbstruck by its eternal beauty. So white and so pure it was. It overlooked a long pool in which one can see its reflection too.
