ESSAY A VISIT TO A HISTORICAL PLACE There are many beautiful sports of historical value. The Taj Mahal has the first position among them. It is the most glorious tomb build in memory. Thousands of visitors come from various countries of the world. I too was very eager to see the Taj. The combined efforts of our principal and history teacher brought us to Agra. This monument is situated on the banks of the river Yamuna. Our history teacher already taught us that the Taj Mahal the most beautiful building in the world, was built by Shah Jahan the Mughal Emperor of India. He built this monument in sweet memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz, who died in 1631. Twenty thousand artists were employed to build this historical monument with white marble stones. This is really a human attempt to make an immortal thing in this mortal world. Our party reached the premises at sunset. The rays of the sun fell on the silvery body of the Taj Mahal. The scene was extremely charming. We took some snaps there till the moon appeared with its full glory because it was a full moon night. We were spell bound to see the radiant beauty of the Taj. The domes seemed to swim in the silver light and the grand minarets shot up towards the blue sky. Words fail to express the beauty of the Taj shining in full moon light. Going inside we found that every part of the Taj Mahal was covered with the most graceful designs on the marble. All the arches are ornamented with the finest touches of art. Shah Jahan and his queen Mumtaz are laid to rest in the heart of the chamber. In fact the Taj is the master piece of architecture. Its real beauty lies in its simplicity. Thus, we enjoyed the beauty of the Taj late in the might and returned to the lodge with pleasant memories. The next day we departed from there to our homes.
