Chapter 1: Taj Mahal
Historical Place that I Visited: A few weeks ago my friend Kamal called me and asked me to spend the summer vacation in his place. I was agreed and left me on a train journey and arrived in Agra. Agra is one of the most beautiful cities in India. And we all know that it's popular because of the Taj Mahal. Yes, I am going to share my experience of visiting the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal has a really brief history. It the time of Mughal Emperors, Shah Jahan built it to express his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Then it has been named as 'Taj Mahal'. My intention behind going to Agra was the Taj.
I have never been in this amazing city and never saw this historic place and that's why I thought not to miss this chance. This beautiful architectural monument is located bank of river Yamuna. It's one of the biggest rivers in the subcontinent. It is said that more than 20000 workers worked for 20 years to build this building. So you can imagine how big it is. I was surprised to see the artistic design in the wall and doors. It's pretty much impossible to do in this time. This Taj is one of the best examples of Mughal architecture.
Things to See There: There are so many things to see in the Taj. I suggest everyone be there in the afternoon. In the time of sunset, the whole scenario is unbelievable beautiful. I just loved the entire scene. It's dreamy and loving for me. I wish to be here one time as a couple. The most important thing to see in the Taj is its architectural designs. If you understand modern architecture, you will be surprised and amazed at how it that possible to build such an amazing thing at that time.
How to Go There from Delhi? There are so many easy ways to visit Agra from Delhi. The best way to go there is a train. I went there by train. The main railway station in Agra is Agra Cantonment (AGC). It is better to depart from Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station (NZM), Delhi. In the winter season, the trains are delayed due to fog problem. There are so many trains to go Agra from Delhi. You can also visit with the bus, but I suggest and prefer train due to safety causes. A journey by train is more entertaining than a bus journey.
I really enjoyed the entire journey. I was alone but made few friends on the train who were going into the same destination. I have never been on a train journey often, so it was pretty confusing and hesitating for me. But at the end of the day, the journey was amazing and super.
Conclusion: A very big number of tourists visit this historic place every day. People from all across the world come to see this symbol of love; they come to make their love stronger with this example of real love.
