The eternity of the Taj Mahal for eternal love

By Ina Stašević (Croatia) from India: Thousands of people from all over the world come every day to see the greatest creation ever created as a statement of eternal love. Mesmerized by the beauty of the Taj Mahal, I wondered how something as intricately perfect as the Taj Mahal, made of marble with a multitude of gems and stone inlays everywhere, was made with the simple equipment and technology of the time.

No wonder it is a wonder, the Taj Mahal is a breathtaking beauty.

The incredible structure, over 400 years old, symbolizes love and devotion and is considered one of the greatest material expressions of love ever created. A brilliant, symmetrical, magnificent mausoleum set in a large, open park-like setting, it allows for stunning views of the building from many angles.

A serene atmosphere, lush greenery, and meticulously manicured lawns frame the stunning view of the Taj Mahal. A tragic twist, the overthrow of Shah Jahan from the throne by his son Aurangzeb, adds a layer of melancholy to the experience.

A visit to the Taj is not just a stunning sight, but an opportunity to reflect on the Mughal Empire and Shah Jahan's personal saga, an era marked by both greatness and tragedy.
