It's very modest inside, but it's very beautiful and majestic outside. It's not exactly white, of course, but it's often bleached. The area around the Taj is also very beautiful. Lots of cool photo zones. Well, the contingent is as colorful as possible.
The price difference is very different for locals and foreigners. During our visit, the entrance fee was 10 rupees for locals and 750 for foreigners. There are already 1,100 rupees for the guests.
Of course, it's an amazing place.
A must-see attraction if you're in India.
Be sure to study the history. Why was it built? She's incredible.
The building is huge, incredibly powerful, and beautiful.
White, beautiful.
When you go to him, he moves away. And if you leave, it gets closer.
They were inside. Where are the coffins. It is forbidden to film there. Inspection in a circle, without stopping. The burials themselves are located downstairs.
There are photographers running around and will pester you. The photo is so-so. But in the center of the photo and without people. Bargain. They initially offer a high cost. But they agree to your terms. It's better to go in the morning, it's not so hot.
Traveling around India and not seeing the legendary Taj Mahal is the same as coming to Egypt but not swimming in the Red Sea.
This magnificent structure is located in the town of Agra. It was built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan, a descendant of Tamerlane himself. His third wife, Mumtaz, died during childbirth. The ruler was very sad and decided to perpetuate the memory of his beloved in the mausoleum. So the Taj Mahal is not only a beautiful architectural monument, but also a symbol of eternal love. It belongs to the Mughal era.
Definitely welcome to visit, the atmosphere is fire! You can recharge your batteries!
The Taj Mahal is the 7th wonder of the world!!!
The Taj Mahal in Agra is one of the most beautiful and romantic buildings in the world. Built in the 17th century by order of Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this mausoleum is a symbol of love and devotion.
The architecture of the Taj Mahal impresses with its splendor: white marble inlaid with precious stones and elegant patterns create an atmosphere of magic. The view of the Taj Mahal at sunrise and sunset is especially impressive, when it changes its shades and looks truly mesmerizing.
A walk through his garden and around the pond reflecting the building allows you to enjoy not only the beauty of architecture, but also the peaceful atmosphere. The Taj Mahal is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts millions of tourists from all over the world.
I recommend that anyone traveling in India visit the Taj Mahal. This is not just an architectural marvel, but also a place filled with history and emotions that leaves
To tell the truth, this was not the first trip to India in my life. But I couldn't get to the Taj Mahal. And yet there was both the time and the opportunity.
I visited at the end of January. On the advice of friends, I went there early in the morning at 06:30. And it really was the right time. There is a long enough queue in front of the entrance to buy a ticket (10-15 minutes). Further inspection through the frame (cigarettes, lighters, etc. are not allowed to be carried inside, so it is better to leave all this in the hotel room). You need to take money, a phone, a cap and a good mood with you.
There are two types of tickets
1. To visit the park and the surroundings of the Taj Mahal.
2. Everything is the same as in the first one + the entrance to the Taj Mahal building itself
(It's better to take the 2nd option, it's worth it. And already inside, by the way, you can buy tickets for the entrance to the building).
In the early morning at sunrise, the building itself changes colors right before our eyes: gray-pink-yellow-gold... incredibly beautiful. The park is very well maintained and it feels like walking through a kingdom. Very impressive. Inside the building, you need to wear shoe covers (they are given out when buying a ticket) so as not to spoil the marble with shoes. The building itself is simply indescribably beautiful! It's really impressive!!
A couple of days later, it started at lunchtime and there were an unrealistic number of people, flashlights, and noise... so it's really better to walk at dawn.
I recommend you to visit if you find yourself in India! It's worth traveling these incredible thousands of kilometers for this.…
There are a lot of people, the place is certainly iconic, but for once. It was done beautifully and on a large scale. In the interior, photography is prohibited, there is a fenced tomb, everyone walks in a circle, looks and goes out. Like in the cinema hall on Red Square.
It's better to go early in the morning, it's not so hot.
Everything is very beautiful, a beautiful garden.
The impression was ruined by the "guides" who pick you up at the entrance. Find out and fix the exact price for their services at the very beginning, because the price may creep up at the exit. And after visiting the Taj, they persistently lead to certain souvenir shops.
Very cool! One of the wonders of the world since 2007. A huge territory, we ordered a guided tour from Agra. It is about 250 km from Delhi, but the highway is good.
All four sides of the Taj Mahal are absolutely identical. Its minarets, walls, and rooms are also perfectly symmetrical. Although during the tour we were clearly shown several optical illusions. In fact, it is a mausoleum. You can take photos anywhere except inside the main building. The military is monitoring the filming inside the building, do not take any chances. Cigarettes, including electronic ones, cannot be brought into the territory, lighters are also taboo. Be sure to visit, you will not regret it!
Like on postcards. But it's worth coming in winter. In the summer at + 48 there is little pleasure to explore. The weather was great in January at +20. It's a nice complex.
It's a super building, but oh, I was driving from Moscow and scratched my ears. I'm a sprunky pinkie rabbit. I was born in 2019. Yes, yes, I turned 6 on February 11 this year, so I'm 6 years old. I'm pinkie sprunky!? It wasn't New Year's Eve yet
We can safely say that it is not for nothing that this place is one of the wonders of the world! It is very beautiful, all the structures in the parks are very beautiful! I recommend it for a visit
The place is very beautiful. You can't say anything. The walls are beautifully painted inside. By the way, who does not know, they wanted to build another Taj Mahal nearby only from black marble.
The Taj Mahal, built in memory of his beloved wife, is a symbol of love and affection. It was built by Shah Jahan, the fifth emperor of the Mughal dynasty, in his memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The entire structure is built of pure white marble, and it is one of the seven wonders of the world. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Every year millions of people, especially married couples, come here to witness its beauty, but now the local government has restricted tourists from visiting due to the deterioration of the quality of the white marble, mainly due to air pollution. So here are our most popular historical sites in the world.
This place is a must-visit. No photos will convey the scale and grandeur. Come as early as possible in the morning, there will be too many people later.
A large complex of buildings with a park, walking paths and a fountain on the riverbank. And the crown of everything is the huge and majestic marble mausoleum of the Taj Mahal, a symbol of the love of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Inside, in the center of the tomb, there are marble sarcophagi of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan, fenced in a circle with a screen, it is impossible to photograph (in fact, the graves themselves are located deep below). People just move in a circle from the entrance to the mausoleum without stopping. The place is sacred. And many people do not understand what is interesting here? But it is here, inside, that what Shah Jahan has been emptying the treasury of the Mughal state for 22 years is felt - boundless love for his wife.
One of the best places in India. It is mandatory to visit) it is not for nothing that they called the wonder of the world, even if it is modern) it is better to visit with a guide or a knowledgeable person.
A beautiful piece of architecture. The splendor of white marble with exquisite carvings. Indeed, it is worthy to be called a "Wonder of the World". You need to be there and see with your own eyes.

It is both an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of eternal love. It is rightfully considered one of the seven new Wonders of the World. Literally everything is amazing - the perfect proportions, the airiness of the temple, the amazing finest carvings on white marble. The mausoleum was really built with love and care. Here, even the minarets are slightly deviated from the temple, so as not to touch it in case of destruction. To fully enjoy this splendor, if possible, you need to plan your visit time well. Fogs have been frequent here since the morning, and visibility is limited. Therefore, there are fewer locals here in the morning.
The mausoleum is much more beautiful outside than inside. An interesting history of the building, the foundation of the second mausoleum has been preserved on the opposite bank of the river. An hour and a half is more than enough to explore the entire territory
It's very beautiful, the traffic jams are full of people early in the morning, it's already empty by lunchtime, but the colors are not the same, the haze is rising
A beautiful place, the grandeur is amazing, even considering that it was done in 1632-1650, manually, very clean, they walked inside in disposable shoe covers, photo and video shooting inside is prohibited, this is of course upsetting, but in general this is the only minus. The impressions are amazing
This is an incredible structure, reminiscent of eternal love. Depending on the lighting, the palace changes its color. It is better to come at sunrise, in the morning it gets a pinkish shade from the rays of the rising sun. And there are a little fewer people in the morning.
As you know, it's beautiful here.
Entrance to the mausoleum for foreigners is 1300 rupees. The ticket price includes shoe covers and a bottle of water. Children under 15 years old are free of charge.
Foreigners are coming in a separate queue, very quickly. Not all items can be carried, but there is a luggage storage (free of charge).
You don't need a guide.
It's really a wonder of the world. Tenderness, lightness, subtlety of patterns, snow-white color - everything says that this splendor is dedicated and erected in the name of a woman. There is a small museum on the territory of the complex, where portraits of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jehan are displayed. Beautiful, very beautiful faces. You look at them and try to imagine this amazing story of their long-past life and love.
If we ignore that this is a border and, in fact, a monument to genocide, then you can take a walk with a buzz and take beautiful photos. Well, just for once
The establishments are cool, especially pilaf with a chicken 😁 Polite waiters, I advise everyone and the second advice is not to go in with an empty stomach or you will die from the orgasm of taste!!!!!!!
On a large scale!
Entrance for foreigners 1300 rupees with a visit to the mausoleum inside (there is nothing to see inside, only an inspection of the territory 1100
A lot of people
One of the places that you definitely need to visit when you come to India! The sacredness and antiquity of this place is felt! Indian culture deserves special attention!
The red place. I was surprised that it was all built by immigrants from Uzbekistan. The only thing I didn't understand is why the ticket is 100 rubles for locals. And for the pale-faced 1300rups. 13 times more expensive...
