Name Taj Mahal
URL http://www.taj-mahal.net/
Description Reading about one of the seven wonders of the world is just not enough; one needs to have a visual contact to get acquainted with the actual glory of the monument. The Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra, about 25 miles from the Indian capital of Delhi. The tomb surrounded by an enclosed garden with reflective pools has mosques on the property while the tomb's 25-metre dome is spectacular, both inside and out. The truth, though, is that words cannot adequately describe a great wonder of the world. Although visuals over the Internet may not do it enough justice as well, the website: www.taj-mahal.net offers one an excellent walk through this monument. The site boasts of complex plans and panoramic photos of the flooring and the interior of the buildings, triggering off questions as to how this precious white marble was hauled across half of India, how much time and bard work went in to the building of this monurnent. This virtual tour ineed does a lot more than any string of words.
