By: NewsPointDid you know that the Taj Mahal actually surpasses the height of Delhi's Qutub Minar? Standing at an impressive 73 meters, the Taj Mahal exceeds the Qutub Minar's measurement of 72.5 meters.
Yes, it's true! There are actually more than 10 replicas of the Taj Mahal around the world, but none of them can truly capture the awe-inspiring beauty of the original.
As the sun rises and sets, Taj Mahal's colors dance in varied shades, from golden to pink, ivory to silvery, a majestic spectacle that captivates all.
Taj Mahal's construction cost of INR 32 million in 1653 equals around INR 70 billion ($1 billion) today. A testament to its timeless beauty and enduring value.
Taj Mahal's jewel-like radiance: Adorned with over 40 types of precious and semi-precious stones, including pearls, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and more.
The Taj Mahal's construction involved the use of approximately 1000 elephants, which played a vital role in moving the construction materials between various locations.
Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan, stands as a testament to his love for Mumtaz Mahal. Tragically, she died while giving birth to their 14th child, inspiring this magnificent memorial of enduring devotion.
The construction of the Taj Mahal spanned approximately 20 years, employing a workforce of around 20,000 workers.
Materials from diverse regions like Punjab, Rajasthan, Sri Lanka, Tibet, China, and more were brought together to construct the symbol of love.
It is said that Shah Jahan intended to construct a black-colored Taj Mahal immediately after completing the white one, but his plans were thwarted by his son Aurangzeb.
