Location of the Taj Mahal

Location of the Taj Mahal, AgraThe Location of the grand Taj Mahal was carefully chosen by Emperor Shah Jahan, as the site was clearly visible from the Agra Fort. Located on the banks of the River Yamuna the Taj Mahal in Agra, India gives the impression of a humongous lone white cloud rising from the ground in unparalleled grandeur and enigmatic charm, full of unspoken promises of love and bonding.

The board of architects who were chosen to design this monumental mausoleum under sovereign supervision chose to construct this paradisiacal structure on a raised sandstone platform that creates a breathtaking effect for the tourist as one enters the premises from the main gate. The location of the Taj Mahal was chosen to complement its beauty and to create a mausoleum complex that would be according to Shah Jahan's conception something similar to Allah's paradise.

The location of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India is such that you can marvel at the reflection of this monument on the silver waters of the River Yamuna. Located at the center of a huge complex, the main mausoleum stands on a raised sandstone platform and has four exquisitely designed minarets that mark the four corners of the monument. A wonderfully designed mosque and a red sandstone guesthouse flank the lovely mausoleum on its right and left.

The artistically designed Char Bagh and the pretty lotus pond that greet you as you enter the Taj Mahal complex in Agra, India are sure to steal your heart, in fact the complete panorama is breathtaking.
