The Taj Mahal is a symbol of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's love and affection for his beloved wife. It has been constructed with the use of white marble and expensive stones as well as carving the walls very beautifully. Shah Jahan called the best artisans in the world to build the Taj Mahal. It took a lot of money and time to prepare. It is also believed that he rejected more than a hundred designs and finally approved it. There are four attractive towers at the four corners of the Taj Mahal. They are very beautifully made and they are slightly tilted outward so that they can secure the Taj Mahal building in any future natural calamity. This beautiful building looks amazing in the sunrise view also.
