Vote for TAJ

Vote for Taj Mahal

Everybody knows the Taj Mahal and I guess everbody has at least seen the pictures of it. It looks amazing in pictures but seeing the same pictures all of your life cannot possibly do it justice. When you see the Taj in person, it is breathtaking. It will stifle you in your tracks and make you just stare at it. It is the worlds most beautiful building, hands down and a sure fire new 7 wonder of the world.

The Taj Mahal has all of the qualities I look for in a new 7 wonder of the world. It is awesome and beautiful. It’s location is far from anywhere and tough to reach. It is jaw dropping when you see it in person and it has a lot of history and mystery behind it.

The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned it as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. He did this out of love. In 1631 Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal’s period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their daughter Gauhara Begum, their fourteenth child. Contemporary court chronicles concerning Shah Jahan’s grief form the basis of the love story traditionally held as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. Construction of the Taj Mahal was begun soon after Mumtaz’s death. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in approximately 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later.

So there are many candidates for the coveted Seven Wonders of the World Title. I want you to think deeply and emotionally and answer one simple question of mine. How many of those monuments are MADE FOR LOVE and OUT OF LOVE. Taj Mahal has got the Shakespearean Tragedy attached to its history. Empror Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his own Son and by his own request allowed to be jailed in a building opposite Taj Mahal so that he could see the monument of his beloved wife and die there.

So much tragedy and so much love. If any of you have ever loved anybody in life, do go and vote for TAJ MAHAL. It is my sincere request to all the lovers of the World.
