world for its rich cultural heritage. India has a myriad of monuments and sites displaying 
the astonishingly beautiful designs and architecture, which will definitely attract any 
foreigner. Still if choosing one out of them is inevitable I would go for the TajMahal in 
Agra city.
TajMahal is the only historical monument of India, which was ever included in the 
wonders of the world. Truly enough it’s apt to be called a wonder. The grand structure 
fully constructed in white marble presents such a beautiful sight, which cannot leave any 
heart untouched with its splendor. It’s known for its architecture and beauty. Even people 
possessing least of artistic taste are left awestruck after seeing it. TajMahal symbolizes 
love. Emperor Shahjahan had constructed this tomb in the loving memory of his dearest 
wife Mumtaz Mahal. Nowhere in the world can anybody find another example of such an 
exquisite memento of love.
When a person visits a new country he is generally interested in knowing the history 
of that country. TajMahal is apt in satisfying this inquisitiveness of the visitors. It carries 
with itself the history of the Mughal Empire, which ruled India for around a decade. 
Foreigners will find ample opportunity to know more about Indian history during the 
medieval period. 
Besides, a person visiting TajMahal can also pay a visit to the grand Red fort in the 
same city. Fort will help in augmenting the visitor's historical knowledge. 
Taj Mahal is situated in Agra, which is a traditional city of India. Till now it has not 
experienced enough modernization to be called a metropolitan. This fact is an advantage 
because it provides a chance to the visitors to observe Indian culture and traditional life 
style from close quarters.
Though there are numerous tourists’ spots in India, TajMahal in Agra is the one, 
which can attract people from all spheres of life. For some other places like the temples of 
South India special interest in history and architecture is needed. The growing number of 
foreigners visiting the monument proves the fact. Hence in my opinion, if a foreigner is 
visiting India just for a day, there cannot be a better place to visit than the TajMahal at 
Agra.
