The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1648 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in childbirth. It is widely considered the finest example of Mughal architecture and one of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed. The Taj is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Frequently Asked Questions
2-3 hours minimum to fully appreciate the Taj. This includes the entrance, the gardens, the mausoleum, and time for photographs. Longer (3-4 hours) if you want to read the Quranic inscriptions, examine the inlay work, or visit the Taj Mahal museum on the grounds.
Absolutely. The Taj Mahal is consistently ranked among the most beautiful buildings in the world. The white marble inlay craftsmanship, the perfect symmetry, and the romantic backstory create an unforgettable experience. First-time visitors to India almost always rank it as the highlight of their trip.
Yes — outside in the gardens. Inside the mausoleum, photography is prohibited. Tripods, professional video cameras, and food are not allowed. Standard cameras and phones are fine. The classic photo spot is the central pool reflection — go early morning to avoid crowds.
There's no parking near the monument due to pollution restrictions. Visitors are dropped at a parking area 1 km away and use battery-operated buses or walk to the entrance. Our tour includes this transfer.
