It has extremely high artistic value. It is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture.

In p>1983, it was listed in the World Heritage List according to the cultural heritage selection criteria C (I). Report rated as heritage: Report of the 7th session of the World Heritage Committee.

It is one of the "New Seven Wonders" announced in the early morning of July 8th, 27, Beijing time.

The Taj Mahal, built in 1632-1654, expresses a king's incomparable and unforgettable memory of his dear wife.

In p>1631, the wife of the Mughal emperor died in childbirth while giving birth to her 14th child. She was 36 years old and had been married for 18 years. For her husband ShahJahan, she lost not only her dear wife, but also a shrewd consultant. It is said that he wore mourning clothes for two years (according to another record, his hair turned white with sadness). He vowed to build an unparalleled mausoleum worthy of his wife in memory of her. No one can deny his success. There is an amazing building in Amiman Dabannou, or Momtaz mahar (meaning "the chosen palace"), which is engraved with the abbreviation of her name: Taj Mahal. Because too many superlatives are used to describe the building, most visitors are afraid that they will be disappointed when they approach it.

The shape of the Taj Mahal, which is very familiar from countless photos, is used as a symbol of restaurants, a trademark of hot and sour sauce and condiments. In fact, it is used anywhere, and people immediately think of India when they see it. Nevertheless, few people were disappointed when they saw the Taj Mahal.

I can never get tired of seeing the Taj Mahal. It still surprises people. It shows different characteristics at different times of the day and in different natural light. Although it is a mausoleum, it does not have all the cold silence of the usual mausoleum. On the contrary, you feel it seems to float between heaven and earth. Its harmony and symmetry, the fusion of the garden and the reflection in the water have created a miracle that has amazed countless visitors. It is estimated that 2, craftsmen participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal, which took 22 years to complete. It is said that a Frenchman and a Venetian participated in part of the project. So far, no architect has been recorded to have definitely participated in the construction of the mausoleum-this is very suitable for this building, because the original intention of building it is to let people remember only the people in the mausoleum.
