The Taj Mahal, built from 1631 to 1654, is a collection of buildings located in Agra,
a city of Uttar Pradesh, India, built by Shah Jahan, emperor of the Mughal dynasty.
The Taj Mahal was built in honor of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died
giving birth to his 14th child.
The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631, to be built in the memory
of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died on 17 June that year, while giving birth to their
14th child, Gauhara Begum. Construction started in 1632, and the mausoleum was
completed in 1648, while the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five
years later.The imperial court documenting Shah Jahan's grief after the death of
Mumtaz Mahal illustrates the love story held as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal
Before his death, the emperor's beloved wife told him his last wishes, which were
to build his tomb, to marry again, to care for and love his children very much, and
to visit his tomb annually on the anniversary of his death ... The emperor, after 8
days and 8 nights of depression and confinement, without any food or drink, he
decides to build the most beautiful tomb the world has ever seen, so that everyone
will remember the name of his beloved wife and remain as a testimony of his great
love for her.
Around 20,000 people and more than 1,000 elephants worked on its construction
They were ordered to blind and cut off the hands of all the chief architects so that
they could never build anything like it.
It was about to be destroyed in the 19th century by the English
The Taj Mahal receives more than 3 million visitors a year and is one of the most
photographed tourist destinations in the world

shades of color

Selection process or contest:

In order to choose the new Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the Swiss-
Canadian Bernard Weber, inspired by the seven wonders of the ancient world, set
out the initiative to plan an international competition so that any citizen of the world
can select through a vote such monuments for Medium of the mobile phone with
text messages, via e-mail, through certain TV channels.

For this, the traveler and aircraft lover, Weber, created, in early 2005, the New
Open World Foundation.

Initially, two hundred (200) constructions, which fulfilled the condition of having
been created by the hand of man until the year 2000, were put to a vote,
regardless of their age or place of origin. In 2005 the list of constructions was
reduced to seventy-seven (77), and at the end of the same year there were only
twenty-one (21). The voting ended on July 7th, 2007 (at 07h 07m 07s to be exact),
at which time the monuments will be announced to the world to be the Seven New
Wonders of the World in the third millennium.

The most modern constructions built in the twentieth century were the most
disadvantaged in the results. This was how the Taj Mahal of India stayed on the
final list.

Unfortunately, that opaque said wonder is the huge garbage that can be seen in
the face that don’t show the tourist photos of the construction, which at one point
could be observed in the film Slumdog Millionaire (Who wants to be a
millionaire) which was filmed in India.

India is one of the countries with the most difficulties in public services, depletion of
natural resources, water, soil, air, fauna and flora, pollution is high, depletion is
very notorious and that makes it tarnish this beautiful wonder of the world, We are
still in a very difficult situation but we are in time to stop this problem and recover a
little of what we have lost, mitigating this situation.
