Will also visit Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah. The Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is a Mughal mausoleum often described as a “jewel box”, and sometimes also called “Baby Taj”. The Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is regarded as a project of the Taj Mahal. Love written in stone.

Sunset at the Taj Mahal, the marble monument of love that needs no introduction. The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his beloved queen Mumtaz Begum. This wonder of the world is said that it took 21 years to build. It has a huge bright white dome with four minarets at the corners and is characterized by perfect symmetry and harmony, either in the form of minarets, the domes, the central arch of the facade, the cavities arched perfectly willing or intricate work stone inlay. It is the most extravagant monument ever built for love.
