It is situated on the bank of the river Yamuna. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal. Twenty thousand laborers worked for twenty two years to build it. The main gateway to the Taj is a three-storied building. It stands on a platform of red stone. The Taj looks beautiful at any time, but at night it is no doubt, a sight to see. It glitters in the moonlight and looks like a palace of silver. The Taj is, indeed, the loveliest work of art in the whole world. It is a poem in stone. It in one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
