INDIA - The incomparable TAJ MAHAL

No visit to India is complete without experiencing the wonders of the incomparable Taj Mahal. This inspirational monument was built by EmperiorShah Jehan in 1630 for his Queen, Mumtaz Mahal, to enshrine her mortal remains. For twenty-two years 20,000 men labored day and night to build this masterpiece, which has held the world awe struck ever since.

Although the Taj is amazingly graceful from almost any angle, it is the intimate detail which is really astounding. Semi-precious stones are inlaid into the marble in beautiful patterns with superb craftsmanship in a process known as ‘pietra’.
The Taj Mahal is at its best at sunrise and sunset - just when the light, playing on the marble of the tomb and the reflections in the stillness of the waters, presents this incredible building in all its beauty, majesty and splendor.

The greatest monument to love and devotion, the Taj Mahal is truly a wonder of the world. Combine it with a stay at the luxurious Oberoi Amar Vilas (www.tajhotels.com) and journey on into Rajasthan.
