Taj Mahal, the most popular monuments in the world is at Agra. This monument is the symbol of love and tells the immortal love story of Mogul emperor Shah Jahna and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. According to historical sources, Shah Jahan employed twenty thousand labors and many famous architects of that time. It took around twenty two years to build the whole structure. The most beautiful part of Taj Mahal is the white marble arched tomb which stands on a square platform.The Taj mahal attracts between 2 million and 4 million visitors annually, including 200,000 from overseas. There is a dual pricing system charging a relatively lesser fee for Indian citizens as compared to foreigners.

The grounds are open from 6 am to 7 pm except for Fridays when the complex is open only for prayers from 12 pm to 2 p.m. It is open for night viewing on the day of full moon. Shah Jahan was so heartbroken after her death that he ordered the court into mourning for two years. Sometime after her death, Shah Jahan undertook the task of erecting the world's most beautiful monument in the memory of his beloved. It took 22 years and the labor of 22,000 workers to construct the monument. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, his body was placed in a tomb next to the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal. It is an evidence that how the emotions and feelings are important to human life. The story of Taj Mahal is an example of devotion and faith. An English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold best describes it as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passion of an emperor's love wrought in living stones." The story of Taj Mahal is a love story not found in papers but stands in the structural form.Its early morning or afternoon or evening. But, its magnificence during nighttime, especially at moonlit nights, is beyond the scope of words. The rays of the moon light up the entire monument and lend it a faint silvery glow. Taj Mahal looks so mesmerizing on a full moon night that you will not even notice how the night passed and the sun came to bathe it in shades of pink.
