I voted for TAJ MAHAL just now! I know it is quite late but better than never right!! And what a time to vote; in a couple of days the Presidential voting is going to take place. I don't wish to thrust my opinion on you but just had this thought in my head, should I vote for TAJ just because I'm an Indian? Is it not the voting for 7 wonders of the world? Well, I voted for TAJ! I'm sure you have already done that, or may do it after reading this blog ...
The website says, "This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife. Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window". And I read an email some time back which talked about Taj being Tejo Mahal build before the Mughal period! I'm sure most of you got that mail as well and read it, forwarded it. Like before, I don't want to comment on this one as well. I voted for TAJ just now and I'd be happy to see it making the list of the final 7 !!!
