We shall start our sightseeing tour of Agra by visiting one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal. It is regarded as the epitome of love. It was built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife MumtazMahal as a final resting place. The grandiose of Taj Mahal incorporates hard work of 20,000 workers and was completed in 22 years. The architect of the masterpiece was Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, a Persian architect. It is also renowned for its stylish domes, exceptionally carved screens, and for finest inlay work.
