Taj Mahal
How many pictures can you take of the Taj Mahal? From every angle it is stunning, even from across the Yamuna River where it is surronded by wasteland it stands out like a diamond in the mud. The seventh wonder of the world has been described as "the most extravagant monument to love ever built" Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to his 14th child. The Taj was completed in 1653 and in total 20,000 people were involved in it's construction.
he story is different if one goes to a small village temple. There is no huge crowd, no harassment and no pickpockets. By and large, a serene atmosphere still prevails. The authorities of the temples should take action to preserve the culture and sanctity of the Indian temples.
