As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal is India’s cultural crown jewel — said to be the most admired and photographed monument in the world: a white marble mausoleum by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife. Its perfect symmetrical alignment and pristine condition make it a must-visit masterpiece.
"It really was a “pinch myself” moment and I was holding back the tears as I could not believe that I was seeing it with my own eyes."
