The Taj Mahal, India’s most recognizable icon, was built on the banks of the River Jamuna at Agra by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned a.d.1628–1666), in memory of his beloved wife Arjumand Banu Begam, known as Mumtaz Mahal ("Elect of the Palace"), who died in childbirth in 1631. There is a tradition that, on her deathbed, she entreated her husband to build a tomb that would preserve her

Early on in this new book on the Taj Mahal, the author makes the point that the building has reached a level of recognition in the popular consciousness, far beyond anything that those who original built it could have imagined. The building has been used in India itself to advertise everything from “tea to hotels”.
Internationally of course, the very silhouette of the building represents Ind

The following is an interesting topic or rather controversy raised following the research done by Prof.P. N. Oak which provided evidences that Taj was a Hindu temple.V shall here post the contents of an e-mail explaining the same..."The Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal built the Taj Mahal. It was built in 22 years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000 artisans brought to India from all over the world! . Many people believe Ustad Isa of Iran designed it." This is what your guide probably told you if you ever visited the Taj Mahal" but what about the following....No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temp

Taj Mahal is a proof of what can be created because of love. The world’s most famous mausoleum, whose construction lasted over two decades, represents the eternal token of one’s husband love for his wife. The monument, situated in Agra, a city on the banks of the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh, India, was built at the request of the fifth mogul emperor, Shah Jahan, in the memory of his second
America's pride, the dollar, that was all-powerful till recently is losing its sheen. In yet another troubling sign for the greenback, at least one of the seven wonders of the world is now off limits if you have only U.S. currency in your pocket. India's tourism minister said Thursday that the dollar will no longer be accepted at the Taj Mahal and other national tourist sites. Until the change, foreign tourists visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra, south-west of Delhi, could enter by paying a fixed $5 (£2.45) fee – a price that was set when the dollar was worth around R50. But with the dollar having fallen by 12 per cent this year against the rupee and the current exchange rate closer to R39 to the dollar, the government has now fixed the entry price for foreigners at R250 – more than $6.

Hi everybody this is well known by all that Taj has important roll in seven wonders of world.well i want to introduse about Taj , it was built in the memory of Mumtaz who was the wife of great king of india Sahjahan.we know that it has a historical story and it is the sign of love..............................
Se dice de él que es la construcción humana más extravagante en el mundo hecha por amor.Hace mucho tiempo, en India, allá en el siglo XVII, había un emperador llamado Shah Jahan. Su mujer favorita, Mumtaz Mahal, a la que por lo que se puede entender quería mucho, murió en el parto de su catorceavo hijo . El pobre emperador, loco de tristeza y amor (dicen que su pelo se volvió completamente gris de la noche a la mañana) decidió construir un palacio en su honor. Se dice que llegó a reunir hasta unos veinte mil trabajadores entre los que se encontraban los mejores arquitectos de la India e incluso algunos traídos de la lejana Europa para construir este fantástico mausoleo.Es de mármol blanco. Perfectamente simétrico. Está a orillas del rio Yamuna, lo que hace que no se vea ninguna otra edificación detras de él. Lo único que se divisa a sus espaldas es el azul del cielo, lo que para mí es el punto culminante que lo hace tan bello. En frente de él hay jardines, y una es

The world-famous Taj Mahal was closed to tourists on Wednesday after officials in the Indian city of Agra imposed a curfew following riots that left one person dead and 50 injured.Rioters fought pitched battles with police, pelting them with stones, glass bottles and setting vehicles alight, after a speeding truck had crushed four Muslims to death in the morning.News of the accident spread quickly and residents spilled onto the streets, witnesses said.The Uttar Pradesh state government issued an advisory, asking tourists to stay in their hotels until order was restored in the city

The inclusion of Taj Mahal, the architectural marvel located in Agra, in the most desired list of Seven Wonders of the World is likely to give a huge boost to tourism in the city. This is clearly indicative of increased real estate and retail in the city.
In a bid to avail new real estate prospects, builders and consultants across the country were keenly awaiting the results.
Residential property in Agra is soon to witness a 15-20% increase in the wake of Taj Mahal being a frontrunner out of seven chosen wonders. With the increased inflow of tourists, the retail sector in Agra is expected to flourish at a fast pace.
The Taj Mahal is also going to bring merry time for already established retail stores such as Taneja and Adlabs – selling handicrafts and ethnic artifacts located near the monument. Prominent developers in Indian real estate such as Ansals, Parsvnath, Omaxe, and Unitech have starting scouting opportunities near the Delhi-Agra highway, spread across several lakh hectares,

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks 1942-ben született New York Harlem városrészében. Édesapja Jamaicai származású jazz zongorista, édesanyja tanár, aki igen tehetséges gospel énekes is. Így azután nem csoda, hogy gyermekük, aki eredetileg mezőgazdasági, állattenyésztési szakon végez egyetemet, mégis a zenét választja hivatásául. Elmondása szerint Taj Mahal művésznevét egy álma hatására választotta. A hatvanas években együtt dolgozik Ry Cooder-rel és a kiowa indián gitárossal Jesse Ed Davis-szel. Énekel, bendzsón, bőgőn, gitáron, harmonikán és zongorán játszik, s zenéje igen sok forásból táplálkozik: a blues, a cajun, a reggae, a gospel, a bluegrass mellett felismerhetőek benne a Hawaii, karibi és afrikai hatások is.1968-ban megjelent The Natch'l Blues című lemezén a következők muzsikálnak: Taj Mahal - banjo, guitar, harmonica, guitar (steel), harp, vocals; Chuck Blackwell - drums; Jesse Ed Davis - bass, guitar, piano; Gary Gilm
Well this time every TV news channel is appealing to you to cast ur vote and confirm the win of Taj in New seven wonders through sms or internet polling. But who will decide this???Its unfair to give the power of judgment to poeple they will vote to that object which belongs to their country no matter its good or bad. Mostly populated country like china will bring Great wall china on the first place, and so on then what about those countries like African countries Timbuktu. :DBut dont worry Taj Mahal will not qualify in this event because ppl are quite busy with voting in Indian Idol and such type of realty programs where voting is just a fashion.
Deacades, Centuries may pass, but the apostle of eternal LOVE, clothed in pure white marble stands immortal on the banks of River Yamuna in Agra(state: UP,India , near N-Delhi).

Agra, better know as the city of 'The Taj' is famous all over the world for its magnificient edifice - The Taj Mahal. Agra is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh in the northern region of India. It is approximately 200 kilometers from Delhi, the capital of India. Agra can be visited throughout the year, but one must avoid the extreme hot summers (April-June) and rainy season (July-Sept). The most suitable time to visit Agra is in winters.There is no other monument in the world, which can match the beauty and grandeur of the Taj Mahal. The massive marble structure of the Taj is awe-inspiring. The Taj Mahal was built in the 17th century by Shahjahan- the fifth Mughal emperor, in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Shahjahan loved his wife so much that after she passed away in 1631, h
LUCKNOW, India (AP) - Archaeologists and conservationists have starting giving the massive gates of the Taj Mahal a facelift to repair weather damage to the majestic 17th-century monument.Two of the three stone gates, decorated with black and white marble slabs, are being repaired and restored with the help of local stone carvers and masons, Rohit Bhalla of the Archaeology Department of India said Wednesday."The southern gate and the main gate of the Taj Mahal needed restoration involving the engraving of intricate designs to match the original 17th-century decorative motifs," Bhalla said. "At present, they are working to strengthen and restore the gates."The restoration work was expected to be completed by March, Bhalla said."Worn-out stones and marble plates are being repaired or replaced," Bhalla said. "Some of these stones will be replaced by new ones as a part of restoration work."The world famous monument, visited annually by about 3 million tourists, was built by the Mogul Emper
Taj Mahal tea has changed its Brand Face ( brand ambassador). Recent TVCs show Saif Ali Khan endorsing the brand. Taj Mahal has been using the Tabla Maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain as its brand ambassador from 1990's. Since Ustad Zakir was endorsing only this brand, the recall was high. Over the period of time, the brand ambassador became synonymous for the brand. Ustad and Taj Mahal was touted as the classic example of a successful celebrity endorsement. The collaboration with the brand and the ambassador went that far that Ustad once challenged in a TVC in 2001 that he will stop playing tabla if he come across a better tea. That TVC created lot of controversy.The new brand ambassador is Saif. HLL may have reasons for changing the brand ambassador. The brand manager may have been bored using the same face?. Saif may be an attempt to make the brand more contemporary. Ustad and his fans are getting older. Hence there is a chance that the new generation may miss out on the charm of Ustad (
