Taj Mahal, India

As "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage," the Taj Mahal was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Many people consider it to be the finest illustration of Mughal architecture and a representation of India's lengthy past. Every year, 7–8 million people visit the Taj Mahal. It was named the New 7 Wonders of the World (2000–2007) initiative winner in 2007.

Many people agree that the Taj Mahal is among the most exquisite structures ever made. The magnificent tomb, a permanent tribute to a husband's devotion for his favorite wife, is located in Agra, India. Additionally, it is a timeless example of the artistic and scientific achievements of a prosperous empire.

Bound by four solitary minarets, this funeral monument is situated on the right bank of the Yamuna in a vast 17-hectare Mogul garden. It dominates the crisscross of open viewpoints provided by lanes or water basins with its octagonal construction topped by a bulbous dome. The scintillation of a fairy-like decor, where flower arabesques, decorative bands, and calligraphic inscriptions incrusted in polychromatic pietra dura are brought out and scintillated by the white marble, the primary building material, conceals and almost contradicts the rigor of a perfect elevation of astounding graphic purity.
