THE TAJ MAHAL:

When the name ‘India’ is heard, the first image that flashes through one’s mind is that of the beautiful Taj Mahal. This place is a symbol of love. Built by the mighty Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 for his beloved begum MumtazMahal, the Taj Mahal stands near the stunning Yamuna river.

Made of ivory-white marble and designed with the great Mughal architecture, the Taj Mahal is one of the most beautiful monuments to be ever built. It is also one of the seven wonders of the world; the walls of the Mahal are engraved carefully with Persian and Arabic poem; every corner shine with love the emperor had towards his wife. Thus, making it a must-visit place.

About Bharatpur

While many of India’s parks have been developed from the hunting preserves of princely India, Keoladeo, popularly known as Bharatpur Wildlife Sanctuary, is perhaps the only case where the habitat has been created by a Maharaja.

In earlier times, Bharatpur town used to be flooded regularly every monsoon. In 1760, an earthen dam (Ajan Dam) was constructed, to save the town, from this annual vagary of nature.

The depression created by the extraction of soil for the dam was cleared and this became the Bharatpur Lake. Check the Rajasthan Tour Packages of Colorful Indian Holidays– India Tour Operator to plan your heritage trips to the beautiful places in the state including Bharatpur.
