India is magnified country with more to do, see and discover than virtually any other place on our planet with sun swept beaches, towering mountain busting cities sparkling rivers.

The Taj Mahal was constructed using materials from all over India and Asia. The buildings of Taj Mahal are constructed with walls of brick and rubble inner cores faced with either marble or sandstone locked together with iron dowels and clamps. Some of the walls of the mausoleum are several meters thick. Over 1,000 elephants were used to transport building materials during the construction. The bricks were fired locally and the sandstone was quarried 28 miles (45 km) away near Fatehpur Sikri. The white marble was brought 250 miles (400 km) from quarries belonging to Raja Jai Singh in Makrana, Rajasthan. Initial estimates for the cost of the works of 4,000,000 rupees had risen to 5,000,000 by completion. A waqf (trust) was established for the perpetual upkeep of the mausoleum with an income of 300,000 rupees. One third of this income came from 30 villages in the district of Agra while the remainder came from taxes generated as a result of trade from the bazaars and caravanserais which had been built at an early stage to the south of the complex. Any surplus would be distributed by the emperor as he saw fit. As well as paying for routine maintenance.

Taj Mahal tourism has become a pilgrimage for travelers and the nationality doesn’t matter at all. Whether you are from India or outside you will be amazed in a similar manner. A Taj Mahal trip stirs different kinds of feelings with every visit. At first you may feel a childlike amazement, next it would be just a stunned expression, and then it may elevate to a level of pure worship. The aura just seems to spread and embrace anyone who comes within its radius.
