Jiske sayemein sada pyar ke charche honge..........
(my intl. friends, here is translation in good English for you - ’’Beneath of which there is bound to be dialogues of Love and Love only’’) It is mesmorising experience to be at Taj Mahal. Recently my neighbours had been there and we were discussing about it, so thought to put my feelings here. Actually, I became nostalgic when I heard their Taj stories.
I visited long back in 1984 with my husband and daughter. That time site seeing buses used to show it at evening time when we were tired after having whole days visits like Agra fort etc. So, we naturally opted for next day morning visit again and enjoyed to be there once again. Pura Taj utha nahi sakte the, so, brought it’s photographs and small presentation boxes having Taj Mahal models. From every angle, Taj is pure Love Symbol nothing less than that. I am actually, finding no words to describe it. You have to be there to experience it.
This is eighth wonder of world in marble, yes, ’’Taj Mahal’’ built by SHAH JAHAN, mughal king in memory of his most beloved wife MUMTAJ, to immortalize her. Friends, is there any need to tell you that it is in Agra city near New Delhi, the capital of India. Take taxi/cab from Delhi or if you are undertaking triangular journey with Jaipur, the pink city you can have flight/train to Jaipur and plan Agra visit according to convenience of days i.e. adjusting full moon night.
It must be a wonderful experience to be there in full moon night obviously. Supreme court has just now given permission to visit Taj Mahal in night time i.e. two days before and after full moon night from 27th NOV. for THREE MONTHS. At a time 50 will enter into and maxi.400 visitors per night are allowed with entry fee Rs.610 for Indians and 1200 for foreigners (they are higher for these special days). No guides will be allowed inside. Please re-check this information before you reach Agra.
To add to your knowledge, Diana and Mrs. Kennedy were unlucky to visit here alone. Bill Clinton visited with his daughter. President Musharraf visited with his Begam. And there are many more celebrities who must have enjoyed this eighth wonder of world.
Those who have already visited Taj Mahal are more than lucky and who will visit during 5 days i.e. two days before and after full moon day, are going to be luckier, and who will be there right on Full Moon Night will find themselves Luckiest to feel Top of the World !!!
Plan for it and see if you can find way through words after coming back home. I think, you will become mesmorised poet. What say ??
