Description:
A boatman ferries tourists across the Yamuna river adjoining the Taj Mahal at Agra India. July 12, 2007. The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal and is amongst the new 7 wonders of the world. It is generally considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements of Persian, Turkish, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. In 1983 the Taj became a UNESCO World Heritage site and was cited as "the jewel of Muslim art in India", and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage.
