Taj Mahal -An  indian monument

Historical places have special atraction for mankind, for they teach us while they amuse us. They put before us a past glory and an artistic sense. In India there are several cities , famous for historical byildings.

The Taj Mahal -An Indian historical building.

Agra is at the top. It is famous for Taj Mahal. I am very fond of visiting historical builfings. We four friends decided to visit Taj Mahal at Agra. We hired a Tonga and reached the station. The was to leave at 8 a.m.

An Indian Minarat.

There was a great rush on the platform. Vendors were selling hot tea, biscuits,betels and sweets. Everybody was talking and laughing.  Just then the bell rang and the train steamed in.

 All the compartments were packed. Somehow we got good seats. After ten minutes the train started. On the we saw green fields , forests trees and cattle. At about 10 a.m. our train reached the Raja Ki Mandi station.

We reached the Taj Mahal by city bus. There we purchased ticket and entered through the  main gate. On entry we found two lawns. In between there was a long passage. We crossed the passage and reached the white marble tomb.

 The Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. It stand on the right bank of Jamuna . It was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of beloved wife,Mamtaz Mahal . The entire building is built of white marble. The stand on the raised platform.

 On its four sides there are four lofty minarets. On the gate of the main building the verses from the holy Koran are engraved.

Inside the tomb there are four graves-two in the upper storey and two in the lower one. The grave in the lower storey are real. There are two mosques in the east and the west of  the main tomb.

The Taj looks beautiful in the moonlight. It has been rightly described as a ‘Dream in marble’. People from far and near come to see this most beautiful building.

After spending five hours there, we returned by a bus. I was not satisfied with the short visit. I wish to see it again. Visits to historical buildings are very useful. Whenever we get a chance we must visit them.

 We are proud of our historical buildinge, specially the Taj Mahal.
