TOUR OVERVIEW:

A monument that is considered to be the most beautiful building ever built in human history, a place recognized as world heritage by UNESCO, TAJ MAHAL has left visitors in awe of its beauty for the past 3 centuries.

Taj Mahal which was constructed in the 17^th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaj is known as the ‘paradigm of love’ and ‘monument of immeasurable intricate beauty’ all around the world. This majestic monument stands on the banks of the Yamuna River and is located in the historical city of Agra.

The name Taj Mahal was derived from the name of Shah Jahan’s wife Mumtaj Mahal which also means ‘Crown Palace’. At the time of dawn when the first tender sun rays fall on its dome, it radiates bright golden hues. And at the time of dusk, catching moonlight all over it shines like an intricately shaped diamond.

The Taj Mahal has been a major attraction for people who love history and historical architecture. Our well-organized Car Rental Taj Mahal Tour Packages allow visitors to experience the ultimate beauty of the Taj Mahal and understand its history thoroughly.

REASONS TO VISIT TAJ MAHAL:

As mentioned earlier, the Taj Mahal is not only known for its beauty but for its historical and archaeological importance as well. The top 5 reasons why you should visit this amazing place at least once in a lifetime are as follows:

1. HISTORY BEHIND CONSTRUCTION OF TAJ MAHAL:  Shah Jahan called his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal which means ‘most precious ornament of the palace’ or ‘chosen one of the palace’ where her original name was Arjumand Banu Begum. Mumtaj took her last breath in 1631 and very devastated and inconsolable Shan Jahan decided to build a monument in memory of his wife and to protect her remains forever. It took 22 years for 22000 workers, artists and labourers all around the world to construct this monument. Shah Jahan spent almost 32 million Rupees for its construction.
2. THE ARCHITECTURE OF TAJ MAHAL: The Taj Mahal is spread across an area of 42 crores in total. Everything about the Taj Mahal, 2 complexes on both sides, and the gardens; are completely symmetrical. The Taj Mahal is a classic example of Mughal architecture as its Islamic-style Tomb is a prominent feature of the Taj Mahal.
3. MAIN GATEWAY OR THE SOUTHERN GATE: The first thing that catches your attention as soon as you pass the security check is the southern gate which is also known as DARWAZA-I RAUZA or GATE OF MAUSOLEUM which is the main entrance of Taj Mahal. It is made of red bricks of sandstone. It has Arabic calligraphy bordering the doorway which is nothing but quotes from the holy Quran. There are 22 small domes on the other side of the gateway all of these aspects justify why it took so many years to complete the construction.
4. CHAR BAGH (GARDEN): Char bag is the garden in front premises of the Taj Mahal which is spread across a total of 300 sq meters. It’s divided into equal 4 quadrants complementing the overall beauty of the Taj Mahal.

BEST TIME TO VISIT TAJ MAHAL:

There’s no such thing as an inappropriate time or best time to visit the Taj Mahal. You can visit the Taj Mahal in any season, at any point of time in the year at your convenience. No matter what season or what time, the Taj Mahal will not stop leaving the visitors stunned by its absolute gorgeousness.

But in months of summer visitors have to bear a high threshold of heat that’s why it is advised to visit the Taj Mahal between October to March. It’s to be noted that the Taj Mahal radiates different hues with every passing hour. But the beauty of the Taj Mahal is at its best at sunrise, sunset and under a full moon night.
