Essay On A VISIT TO THE TAJ MAHAL

Or

A VISIT TO A HISTORICAL PLACE

Introduction

Once the Taj Mahal was one of the seven wonders of the world. Still it is one of the most beautiful building of the world.

Its history

One day with my uncle I wished to see the building. We saw the view of the Taj Mahal from the train at a distance. It looked grand and impressive.

We went on a rickshaw. We saw the gate of the building. It was very high and beautiful. It is made of red stone. It is called Buland Darwaja.

We now saw the Taj from here. It was a white building made of white marble. We went by paths made of marble slabs. Between these paths there were cisterns and fountains. Fish of all colours leaped about in them. There we saw lawns and trees on both the sides, with high walls and buildings at the end.

Main building

The Taj is built on a high terrace made of marble. We climbed a few steps and saw the big terrace in the centre of which stands the Taj. There are four high towers at the four corners. Now I saw the beauty of the Taj. I never thought it so. There are verses from Quran written in black mosaic at the three sides of the gate. It is really a great work of art. I was puzzled to see its greatness and glory.

Other things

Now we went in. There is a broad circular gallery all round the building. I was astonished to see the filigree work and carvings in the marble. In the centre, there were two tombs of Shahjehan and his dear queen, Mumtaz Mahal. But I came to know that they were not the real tombs. The real tombs were down stairs. We went there and found that they were exactly like the other tombs above. Verses of Quran were written on the tomb of the queen. The slab over emperor was bare. I wondered to see the mosaic work of art on all sides.

Brief history

It is said that thousands of labourers worked for twenty years to build this grand monument of the love of Shahjehan for his queen. Crores of rupees were spent.

A great work of art

It is really a great work of art and India is proud of it. People come from all countries to see this wonder of wonders. Every part of the building is very attractive in a moonlit night. The Jamuna flowing by adds to its charms.

Conclusion

The sight of the building has made a deep impression on my mind. I can never forget it.
